Who says vengeful ghosts can't go on blind dates?

Women's restroom.

The egg did not enter immediately.

He remembered. At first, that high-ranking person seemed to have told him to block the bathroom door, right?

He didn't understand why they would do that at the time.

It's just a room in a movie theater, why make him block it out all the time?

However, when he saw that Jiang Xiaowei had actually come to him on her own, he no longer had any complaints.

But right now, he felt something was off.

He recognized this as the private room area where the humans had initially stayed.

But what puzzled "Egg" was that since there was a restroom in the private room area, why did that human have to travel all the way to the restroom in the far away area?

"Egg" flicked the whip around his neck. He didn't rashly push open the door, but instead looked around for a while.

Nothing was found.

He observed for a while longer.

Still no findings.

At this moment, the light bulb above his head began to flash on and off.

Clearly, his "amiable" partner was getting impatient and was threatening him.

That's right. In the mindset of the "egg," this isn't urging, it's a threat.

"Egg" rolled his eyes slightly. He glanced at the light bulb, trying to hide his malice as much as possible.

We still need them now. So, we have no choice but to put up with it.

He moved closer and pushed open the bathroom door.

It has a standard women's restroom layout.

Mirror, washbasin, toilet stall.

The light bulb emitted a steady white light without any flickering.

The "egg" cautiously observed everything inside, but still did not go in.

He swung his whip and tentatively tapped the sink. After confirming that no murder rules had been triggered, he slid the whip along the ground, probing the path like a snake.

Nothing happened.

It seems the floor is fine too?

He hesitated for a moment.

At that moment, the light bulb started flashing on and off again. Afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide the malice in his eyes, he went straight into the women's restroom.

In a place like this, if you need to hide from people...

"Egg" turned its gaze toward the cubicle.

The doors to the first three cubicles were ajar, and he could see that they were empty.

So, that human must be hiding in one of those closed cubicles at the back?

He raised his whip high and lashed it directly at the fourth compartment.

The cubicle door was completely undamaged. However, because it was not locked, the door was still opened by the impact of the whip.

no one.

The "egg" used a whip to pull open the next compartment.

Still no one.

Is it hiding in the innermost part?

He was in no hurry.

"Egg" quickly checked the area. Seeing that there was indeed nowhere to hide in the cubicle, he then opened the door to the next cubicle.

The sixth room, the seventh room...

But even after opening all the partitions, he still didn't see anyone.

There was no one in the restroom.

Nobody here?

That guy clearly pointed to this place. Was he lying to a ghost?

"This...this...this is the women's restroom..."

The sound came from behind him. He quickly pulled back his whip, but missed.

There was nothing behind him.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut. Then, in a split second, it merged with the wall and vanished completely.

The door... is gone?

Staring at the wall that had once been a door, "Egg" was still in a daze.

"Sizzle!"

The faucet was suddenly turned up to full blast. A large amount of foul-smelling blood gushed out, quickly filling the sink and flowing onto the floor.

By the time the "egg" reached the sink, half of the floor had already turned into a pool of blood.

"Women's restroom...No men allowed!!"

male?

The egg disagreed.

That's easy, he can just change his genitals, right?

The reproductive organs on the "egg" then underwent changes.

After he changed his biological sex, all the faucets in the bathroom that were flowing with blood were shut off.

"It seems to really work..."

"Transgender people are prohibited from entering the restrooms!!!"

This time, the sound was almost a roar. It seems that this restroom harbors extreme hostility towards transgender people.

"Bang!"

The faucet next to the sink was smashed into metal fragments by the massive amount of blood!

A large amount of blood gushed out from the broken end of the faucet, much like a fire hydrant that had gone out of control.

In just a few breaths, the blood on the ground had already soaked up to her ankles.

No?

Are you engaging in sexism?

The "egg" felt somewhat powerless in this regard.

His killing rules only apply to living beings. If the enemy is a living structure, his killing rules will not be triggered at all.

In this way, he can only passively take the beating.

Why would this restroom attack me?

Did they find him at the movie theater?

But under the cover of that person in a high position, he shouldn't have been exposed yet, right?

Seeing that the blood was about to soak up his calves, he had no choice but to take countermeasures.

"Whoosh!"

The whip slashed through the air, striking the washbasin fiercely.

Since the blood is coming from the sink, what would happen if the sink were destroyed?

"Bang!"

The sink didn't seem very sturdy. It cracked on the first hit, more cracks appeared on the second, and it was completely shattered into pieces on the third.

But the situation did not improve as a result.

Or rather, things have gotten worse.

The sink was destroyed, and a large amount of blood gushed out, spraying debris everywhere.

The fragments of the sink, like shrapnel from an explosion, pierced through the "egg's" body in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the ceiling, walls, and floor were all covered with fragments of the sink.

The fact that it could penetrate the wall means that the sink must be harder than the wall and shouldn't have been so easily broken by the whip.

The "egg's" body began to gradually recover. He pulled out the shards stuck in his body and looked around with a gloomy expression.

These fragments did not contain the power of the rules of killing, so they did not cause him much harm.

However, he felt that he had been severely humiliated.

The "egg" became enraged and began smashing everything in sight with its whip.

Mirrors, cubicles...

But it was no use at all; blood had already soaked up to their waists.

Although he didn't know what would happen after being submerged in blood, he was certain it wouldn't be a good thing.

Ultimately, after confirming that this was an enclosed space, he could only turn his attention to the walls.

At first, he thought the wall was successfully breached and that it was useful. However, even after digging a large hole, the wall was not broken through.

Blood gradually filled the room...

……

Women's restroom.

Jiang Xiaowei is safe and sound.

As "Egg" pushed open the door, she saw the bathroom door open at the same time. But wasn't that door locked by her?

Her heart was pounding. But Jiang Xiaowei calmed herself down and realized that nothing had come in.

There was nothing outside the door.

She hesitated for a moment, preparing to go over and lock the door again. But when she reached the sink, her expression immediately became quite complex.

There was a mirror above the sink. But the image in the mirror wasn't her; it was the vengeful ghost "egg".

Is the "egg" of a vengeful ghost inside this mirror?

She was so shocked that she was momentarily lost in thought and forgot to close the door.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the "egg" smash all the equipment in the bathroom, saw the "egg" frantically smashing the walls, and witnessed everything the "egg" did before it was completely submerged in blood.

Gazing at the sea of ​​blood reflected in the mirror, Jiang Xiaowei became increasingly mesmerized.

The vengeful spirit's "egg" is in an abnormal state. Testing is underway...

Finally, it was the eerie game notification sound that brought her back to her senses.

However, is the state of the vengeful ghost's "egg" abnormal?

She looked up at the mirror.

The image of a sea of ​​blood in the mirror had long since disappeared.

She stared blankly at the mirror, and the person in the mirror was also staring blankly back at herself.

Just as the vengeful ghost "egg" was submerged in the sea of ​​blood in the mirror, the eerie game sent this message.

Could it be that the abnormal state is because I'm trapped inside the mirror?

Does that mean she'll never be able to complete the tasks in the eerie game?

A look of struggle flashed in Jiang Xiaowei's eyes.

Since the mirror caused the problem, should we smash it?

What happens to the vengeful ghost's "egg" after it's smashed?

Will they die instantly, or escape?

Remembering what Mr. Jiang said about only a vengeful ghost being able to kill another vengeful ghost, Jiang Xiaowei felt that smashing the mirror was pointless.

Furthermore, Jiang Xiaowei wouldn't dare risk her life to smash the mirror. She didn't have the guts.

So, what happens if the mission fails?

[Currently detecting the "egg" of a vengeful spirit...]

The vengeful ghost "egg" is suspected to be dead.

Suspected death?

Why is this wording used?

Just then, Jiang Xiaowei suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of the door opening.

She was startled and nervously turned her head to look at the bathroom door.

The bolt on the door was still in place, as if it had never been opened.

The entire women's restroom was very quiet, as if it had never been disturbed.

The footsteps and the sound of the door opening just now... were as if they had never happened.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Like a dream, like an illusion.

"call--"

Jiang Xiaowei took a deep breath and raised her head again.

She was still seeing herself in the mirror.

Did I hear wrong?

Jiang Xiaowei was still worried.

She desperately wanted to check if there was any danger in the bathroom! But because she was worried about accidentally triggering a murder rule that wouldn't normally be triggered, she froze in place once again.

Just when she was fairly certain that nothing would happen as long as she kept standing there like an idiot, the eerie game's notification sound rang out again.

[Currently detecting the "egg" of a vengeful spirit...]

The vengeful spirit "egg" is dead.

Dead? Just a moment ago it was suspected...

Jiang Xiaowei suddenly thought of the group of veteran players who had participated in this bizarre game with her.

Could it be because of them? Or did this restroom kill the vengeful ghost?

All of this is now lost to history.

[Rewards settlement in progress...]

[Returning to the real world...]

"Ring ring!"

My phone is vibrating in my pocket.

Is this... my phone ringing?

Jiang Xiaowei's eyes underwent a subtle change.

This wasn't her phone ringing.

Or rather, it's not her current ringtone, but the default ringtone from when she first got the phone.

The phone was out of service. Therefore, the only thing that could get through to her phone could be a vengeful ghost.

[Rewards have been settled. Returning to the real world...]

At the same time, she felt a weight in her pocket. Clearly, new ghost coins had been deposited into her account.

Her phone was still ringing. However, seeing the strange game messages still popping up, she didn't dare to do anything else.

[Kill the vengeful ghost "egg" - 10 x 10 Ghost Coins]

Ten 10-yuan ghost coins?

Ten 10-yuan ghost coins equal one hundred yuan. However, judging from what I bought in the in-game store, it seems that ghost coins of different denominations are not of equal value.

It's ridiculous, really. This was clearly her second round of this bizarre game, yet she couldn't even tell whether the rewards were generous or not.

[You have returned to the real world. The third eerie game will begin in seven days. Please be prepared.]

The surrounding scenery spun rapidly.

Jiang Xiaowei felt dizzy. After she regained her senses, she found herself back at the restaurant where she worked.

"Ah! How come someone suddenly appeared in the store?"

"You...you came back alive?"

"I'll go tell the boss. Boss! Jiang Xiaowei is back..."

"Ring ring!"

"Huh? Is someone calling you...?"

Jiang Xiaowei didn't hear the last sentence.

Her pupils contracted instantly when she heard the phone ring!

At that moment, no matter how her boss or colleagues spoke to her, she seemed unable to hear them.

Jiang Xiaowei had only one thing on her mind—

Her phone was still ringing!

But how is that possible?

Is it a vengeful ghost?

She would call—a name surfaced in Jiang Xiaowei's mind.

"Ring ring!"

She held her breath and took out her phone at an extremely slow pace.

"Ah, I knew it."

The caller ID clearly displayed Ren Zhizhe's name.

Was this a call from that anthropomorphic vengeful ghost?

Why?

She has already returned to the real world, and even returned to the restaurant where she entered the game.

Why can that anthropomorphic ghost still call?

Was it because she didn't answer the phone at the time?

No, none of that matters anymore. What matters now is, what should she do?

Should I answer or hang up?

Jiang Xiaowei's breathing began to quicken rapidly.

Answering a call from a vengeful ghost is definitely risky. However, this vengeful ghost named Ren Zhizhe is a little different.

This anthropomorphic vengeful ghost's situation is somewhat special.

Although she still doesn't understand Ren Zhizhe's thoughts, Jiang Xiaowei feels that he has a great influence, judging from the fact that she was forced to participate in two bizarre games in a row.

If she can keep Ren Zhizhe's attitude towards her stable, she might be able to survive each of the bizarre games.

You must not offend the other party.

So, Jiang Xiaowei took a deep breath for a while, and finally made an excuse to leave the restaurant and go to a secluded place to answer the phone.

Where are you? I can't find you after I came back.

"Ah. I'm here..." Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Xiaowei suddenly froze.

Hasn't the private room been turned into a restroom?

But according to Ren Zhizhe, the original private room is still there?

This doesn't make sense, does it?

No, no... The most important thing right now is how to answer Ren Zhizhe's question!

"Um. This, I'm at..."

Jiang Xiaowei stammered, unsure how to answer for a moment.

Should I just say I've returned to the real world?

That definitely won't work. So what should I say? Say I wasn't in the movie theater?

Jiang Xiaowei remained frozen, unsure how to respond.

In the end, it was Ren Zhizhe who keenly sensed something.

"You went back?"
