What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

Su Yu then noticed that the portraits of the deceased were all of young people, who looked to be at most high school seniors.

"These people are..."

"He was my former student."

The old woman said slowly and calmly, "She was also a former tenant here."

How did they become like this?

As the words were about to come out, Su Yu felt as if she already had the answer.

"They weren't killed by what was in this building, but by their own greed and stupidity."

At this point, the old woman raised her head and looked at Su Yu: "The more you want to gain, the more you lose."

Su Yu remained silent.

"If you continue to stay, you will soon receive an invitation from that thing."

As the old woman spoke, she opened the drawer of the offering table and took out a cloth bag.

If you pour everything out, you'll see that it's full of those little slips of paper.

The contents of the note were similar to the two notes Su Yu had seen before; they were both very simple tasks, but it was precisely these simple tasks that cost them their lives!

"The person who started this game is a guy with a really bad sense of humor."

"The person who completes the task can rewrite the task on the note and pass it on to the next person."

"If the next person fails to complete the task assigned by the previous person, they will be eaten by the monster."

"And the person who assigns the task will get what they want most."

Hearing this, Su Yu felt a chill run down her spine.

If we use human greed as bait, what fish can't we catch?

"The game could have ended simply by throwing away the note after completing the task, but nobody wanted anyone else to have it easier than themselves, and nobody wanted to miss out on the monster's reward."

At this point, the old woman turned around and looked at Su Yu intently once again.

“Can you get out of here?”

"I'm not leaving."

Su Yu smiled and thanked her for her kindness.

"I want to see what kind of task this guy will assign me."

The old woman hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

After thinking for a moment, he took only one offering fruit from the table and handed it to Su Yu.

……

After leaving the old woman's place, Su Yu looked back one last time.

To the left of her room should be the house where Si Nan once rented.

However, you can't get this door open during the day.

I can only come back tonight.

The offerings in my hand were still fresh and vibrant when they were inside the house, but they quickly dried out after being taken out.

It looks like it's been sitting there for a long time.

She was about to throw it away when Ryoko stopped her.

Ryoko took the shriveled offering fruit from her hand and sniffed it.

break apart.

Inside lies a core emanating a strong ghostly aura.

"This is edible."

She handed the item back to Su Yu.

"Although it can't make up for much, it's better than nothing."

Su Yu took it and habitually put it back in her backpack.

Night falls earlier here than in the real world.

As night fell, Su Yu went out once again, heading to the room where Si Nan had stayed.

The rooms, which were uninhabited during the day, were now all lit up.

The Ghost King, who followed Su Yu out, reverted to her cat form and changed into a JK uniform.

Watching her seriously cosplay Ryoko-san, Su Yu couldn't help but want to say something...

"Xiaoyu, do I look pretty dressed like this?"

The Ghost King slightly lifted the hem of her skirt.

He then gave Su Yu a flirtatious wink.

Su Yu's gaze involuntarily moved downwards, landing on her thighs, which were tied with ribbons.

"I'm telling you, this isn't a proper JK (high school girl)!"

What high school girl has this thing strapped to her leg?

Miss Ghost King narrowed her eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Knock on the door.

"Is anyone here?"

"I'm coming!"

The voice that responded to Su Yu from inside the door was not the voice of Si Nan that she had imagined, but the voice of an unfamiliar young woman.

The door opened, revealing the same ashen face and the same Aoyama Private High School uniform.

"Huh? Who are you? You don't seem to be from our school."

She sized up Su Yu, then glanced at Miss Ghost King beside her.

Finally, he cautiously stepped back, trying to close the door again.

However, Miss Ghost King was a step faster, reaching out and pressing down on the door.

"We're neighbors, and we came to visit you out of goodwill. How could you be so rude as to close the door like that?"

Miss Ghost King sneered, grabbed the other person by the neck, and lifted them up by force.

Seeing the other person's ashen face contort and the black mist behind them thicken, Su Yu quickly signaled her to put the person down.

The high school girl, startled and falling to the ground, looked at them with teary eyes.

"You...you're doing this! I'm calling the police!"

Miss Ghost King laughed, "Call the police? It seems you don't know yet, you're already dead."

"Me? I'm dead? What are you talking about! You guys get out of here right now, or I'll really call the police!"

"Okay, then give it a try."

The high school girl hurriedly picked up her phone from the table.

However, no matter how many times I pressed the emergency number, I couldn't get through.

Her face grew increasingly pale.

The phone screen was lit, but the time was frozen at 7:17 PM.

The signal is full, but I can't dial any number.

"How is this possible! Why can't I make a call to the police...?"

"I already told you, because you're dead, this isn't the world of the living. How could you possibly dial a number from the world of the living?"

Miss Ghost King slightly suppressed her smile.

She crouched down, reached out, and pressed her hand against the top of the other person's head.

"Seeing how pitiful you are, I'll help you recall how you died for free."

……

……

A few minutes later.

The high school girl, with a terrified look in her eyes, turned into a cloud of black mist.

"This... can be considered a ritual to help the deceased pass on?"

"Not."

Miss Ghost King shrugged.

"This is a case of the soul being scattered to the winds."

As she spoke, she handed a pendant she was holding in her left hand to Su Yu.

This is the only evidence that the high school girl survived.

When Su Yu picked up the pendant, she saw the following description of the item:

"Ruby Pendant: Complete the impossible task, and you will receive the gift you desire most. Cheng Ya wants it, and her task is... to kill the math teacher's cat using a specific method. Unfortunately, an accident occurs when she takes action, and she has to eliminate both the cat and its owner."

Looking at the item description, Su Yu felt a chill run down her spine.

So, that's why Miss Ghost King attacked her directly, right?

"Should we go inside and search? Maybe we'll find some new surprises."

As Miss Ghost King said this, she pushed the door open even wider.

Sitting on the bed in the room was Ning Qingzhi, an old acquaintance of Su Yu.

"Look what I found!"

Miss Ghost walked straight to her and sat down next to her.
