When their lovely childhood friend returned, they were all in a panic!

"Baby, it's just something, it's not that scary, is it?"

Bai Yu touched Luo Qingyan's head; she was trembling violently in his arms.

I feel like I'm getting more and more into the zone!

"Oh dear! You picked it up!"

Luo Qingyan still didn't dare to look, and nestled in Bai Yu's arms, she grumbled.

"This is very rudimentary."

Bai Yu looked at the prop and continued to reassure her.

Only then did Luo Qingyan cautiously peek her head out from Bai Yu's arms.

Looking at that prop head, it doesn't seem particularly scary.

"Right?"

Seeing that Luo Qingyan was no longer particularly afraid, Bai Yu smiled and spoke.

Luo Qingyan blushed and slowly moved away from Bai Yu's support.

In the dark, Bai Yu couldn't see Luo Qingyan's expression, but could hear her words.

"Hurry up and find the key."

Luo Qingyan hurriedly took off her cotton-padded coat and said resentfully.

After feeling around in the cotton coat, I finally found a pocket.

He reached into his pocket and sure enough, there was a key inside.

However, this time Luo Qingyan dared not do anything reckless.

She placed the key into Bai Yu's palm, and then spoke timidly.

"Baby, come here, I'm too scared."

The voice was so soothing that it made Bai Yu's scalp tingle.

She's such a contrast to the aloof and beautiful school beauty I remember, Luo Qingyan.

Bai Yu sighed softly and took the key.

It's just opening a door, what's so scary about it?

He inserted the key, and it made a "click" sound.

"Creak~" The old wooden door made a jarring sound.

As soon as I opened the door, it was still pitch black.

"Thump!"

Suddenly, a muffled thud came from behind.

Startled, Luo Qingyan quickly turned around and hid behind Bai Yu.

Bai Yu was also a little confused.

Why is there some noise behind us? Is a chase about to begin?

We don't know what the terrain inside the wooden door is like, so the only way to escape is to run inside.

"Waaah~"

The wails of the vengeful ghosts continued to echo.

Luo Qingyan grew increasingly frightened, hiding behind Bai Yu and trembling.

Bai Yu took half a step back, preparing for the chase.

Luo Qingyan also took half a step back, just like Bai Yu, but...

I felt a touch on my back?

Luo Qingyan was stunned. Why did she feel like she bumped into someone from behind?

The person in front of me is Bai Yu, and the person behind me is...

Luo Qingyan stiffened and slowly turned her head away.

A pitiful female ghost's face was pressed against his own.

Her mouth was split open, and two streaks of blood flowed from her eyes.

The female ghost looked at the stunned Luo Qingyan and smiled.

"Eeya!"

"Waaaaaah!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched scream erupted, let alone from Luo Qingyan.

Even Bai Yu, who is usually very brave, was frightened.

He turned around abruptly, only to be met with Luo Qingyan's body, which was paralyzed with fear.

Bai Yu hurriedly caught it and glanced up.

The NPC ghost revealed a triumphant smile before disappearing into the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the scene inside the wooden door was illuminated by dim lighting.

The scene inside is set in a rural house, except for a prop of an old woman's hanging body.

The old woman was still hanging from the roof beam, her limbs dangling naturally.

But there wasn't time to deal with the new scenarios.

The NPC ghost was so scared by Luo Qingyan that she went limp.

Bai Yu was about to forcefully lift Luo Qingyan, who was limp in his arms, but realized that his hand seemed to be in the wrong place.

This feels...so soft.

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, Bai Yu quickly adjusted the position of his hands and straightened Luo Qingyan's body.

At this moment, Luo Qingyan was almost crying from fright.

"I don't want to play anymore..."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here for you, baby."

Seeing the boss's low spirits, Bai Yu quickly offered emotional support.

He pulled Luo Qingyan into his arms and let her lean on his strong shoulder.

Luo Qingyan didn't speak, her hand gripping Bai Yu tightly, not daring to let go for even a moment.

After a brief investigation of the information inside the cabin, the following conclusion was reached:

The sorceress committed suicide, but there could be other reasons as well.

Anyway, the method to cure the girl's illness had to be found in the shaman's house.

"Why don't we go back? I'm not going to get treatment for this illness."

Luo Qingyan put herself into the role of the character in the script.

Seeing this, Bai Yu simply put himself in that shoes as well.

"No, we've come all this way, we absolutely have to cure your illness."

Bai Yu spoke firmly.

"I read in the sorceress's suicide note that there are unclean things in this village that will harm us!"

Luo Qingyan looked at the bloodstained suicide note beneath the corpse hanging from the sorceress's head.

"No, they might just take you away."

Bai Yu said in a deep voice, picking up the ancient book he had just found.

"Huh? Bai Yu, don't scare me."

Luo Qingyan's delicate body trembled, and she quickly looked around.

I was feeling fine just now, so why does it feel so eerie now?

"The book says that people who have lost their souls are involved in a ghost marriage, and their souls will only return after the marriage is completed. Your symptoms are very similar to those of you."

Bai Yu pointed to the text on the ancient book.

Luo Qingyan leaned closer to take a look and asked timidly.

"Then why did they arrest me?"

"Take him away and force him into a ghost marriage."

Bai Yu guessed.

"Then just kidnap me and marry me, I'll go with you."

Luo Qingyan grabbed Bai Yu's clothes.

"Anyway, let's get your soul back first. It seems we need to go to the back mountain."

Bai Yu said in a deep voice, summarizing all the clues he had just obtained.

"Where is the back mountain?"

Luo Qingyan had just asked a question when the scene immediately erupted in activity.

"Thump!"

The wooden door that had just been opened suddenly slammed shut, and then the cabinet door next to Bai Yu suddenly moved.

Suddenly, the music for a chase scene started playing.

Bai Yu didn't even need to think; the problem must be with the cabinet door.

So Bai Yu simply reached out and pressed the cabinet door shut.

The cabinet door shook twice, then suddenly stopped.

Perhaps the NPCs inside are wondering why the door won't budge today?

Bai Yu looked at his hand pressing against the cabinet door and fell into deep thought.

Doesn't this ruin the gaming experience and cause some disruption?

Forget it, let's just release the ghost.

"Luo Qingyan, run!"

Bai Yu said softly, took Luo Qingyan's hand, and ran towards the U-shaped corridor inside the house.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Bai Yu didn't even call out "baby" as Luo Qingyan had requested earlier.

Luo Qingyan was taken aback, then followed Bai Yu's lead and ran forward.

After pushing the door for a long time, the female ghost NPC finally broke through and came out.

"Eeya!"

The female ghost let out a high-pitched scream and charged at the two of them, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

"Ah! Run faster!"

Luo Qingyan was terrified when she heard the female ghost's screams behind her.

"It's okay, she can't catch up with us."

Bai Yu pulled Luo Qingyan along as they ran, searching for a safe house.

Suddenly, he saw a staircase and pulled Luo Qingyan up it.

There were runes pasted in front of the stairs, and the female ghost NPC was very dedicated, deliberately pretending to bump into an invisible wall.

Once she was safe, Luo Qingyan patted her chest, relieved to have survived the ordeal.

I was so scared... But with Bai Yu around, I wasn't so afraid anymore.

"Right? School beauties are really hard to win over. You see, even a ghost couldn't catch one."

Bai Yu chuckled and teased, easing Luo Qingyan's mood.
