An Xinghe frowned. He had said so much, yet Liu Qingmeng was actually staring at him blankly!
Did you even want to clear this game?!
An Xinghe raised his voice and repeated himself:
"Miss Liu, did you understand?"
Only then did Liu Qingmeng snap out of her daze. Her face flushed slightly, and her expression turned awkward.
"I remember."
An Xinghe nodded. "Good. The school's main building should be ahead. I counted just now—there are three floors in total. You search the first floor, and I'll search the second and third floors. I'll take the rooftop, and you take the basement. Any objections?"
"No... No objections."
"Good. It's almost been the one minute the system mentioned. Let's get moving!"
Chapter 66: The First Ghost!
Among the five nursery rhymes, the easiest to understand was: "On a windy day, on the rooftop. Little butterfly, fluttering about. They should have been a pair, so why did one suddenly fly away? The other one could not be seen, and fell to the ground, turning into sludge."
It had already clearly indicated that the incident had happened on the rooftop!
An Xinghe went straight to the rooftop.
A neon city's rooftop was different from a rooftop in the Celestial Dynasty.
Many stories had happened here. For example, rescue operations for girls who had fallen off, Yandere girls' plans to kill scumbags, arranged fights, and also arranged...
As a seasoned old scumbag, An Xinghe would not come to the rooftop without a reason, because the wind was strong here, and being naked made it easy to catch a cold.
What I mean is, sunbathing naked made it easy to catch a cold.
But this rooftop was very clean. It was not covered in the expected piles of blood and gore. Sitting on the railing at the edge of the rooftop was a red-haired girl with long, straight black hair.
The girl was sitting in an extremely dangerous position. She would fall if she leaned forward even slightly!
She said, "Makino-kun, you're here."
Makino-kun? Was she calling me?
Or was she calling the character originally in this game?
An Xinghe was puzzled, but he still answered, "I'm here."
There was an apologetic note in the girl's voice.
"I'm sorry, Makino-kun. I couldn't convince my parents. They still won't agree to let us be together."
Huh? Parents who opposed their child dating? Such a good thing actually existed?
An Xinghe could not help thinking of his own parents. Ever since he started middle school, they had urged him to hurry up and get a girlfriend. They had even taken the initiative to invite female classmates to come over to his house and play! Then they would say they were going out to play Mahjong, lock the door, and stay out all night.
Once he entered university, the elderly couple became even more extreme. They had specifically bought An Xinghe an apartment in a busy downtown district, on a street surrounded entirely by clothing stores.
All so they could see their daughter-in-law as soon as possible!
Thus, when An Xinghe heard about parents who obstructed their child's romance, he could not help developing a favorable impression of them!
Before An Xinghe could answer, the girl continued.
"I know they want me to get into a prestigious university and make something of myself, so I've always studied hard! Even after I started dating you, my grades didn't drop!"
"Why do they insist on stopping us?"
After saying this, the girl patted the railing beside her.
"Makino-kun, come sit beside me. Let's talk."
At that moment, a scene suddenly appeared in An Xinghe's mind.
Laina, sit down!
An Xinghe obediently walked over and sat beside the girl.
Since the girl's profile was also covered by her hair, he could not see her entire face.
The girl swung her legs over the railing and murmured, "Hey, hey, Makino-kun, do you love me?"
At a moment like this, even an idiot would know how to answer!
"I do! I love you very much!"
"Then... do you still love me like this?!"
The girl suddenly turned her head, and An Xinghe finally saw her face clearly for the first time.
Rather than a face, it was more like a set of features formed from a mass of blurred flesh and blood! All the flesh on her nose had been scraped away, leaving the nasal bones completely exposed. The flesh of her lips had turned inside out, and her two eyeballs had shattered into glass marbles!
Half the skin on her face had been scraped away as well, exposing the dark-red muscles beneath!
Livestream.
[Holy crap! This is way too terrifying!]
[I threw up! I really threw up!]
[I can't take it anymore! That's literally a dead person's face!]
[What the hell! The Horror Game didn't censor a scene this horrifying!]
[I've watched countless livestreams, and this is absolutely the most disgusting scene!]
[We're already suffering this much. An Xinghe must be suffering even more!]
[I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight!]
The girl grabbed An Xinghe's arm, her long fingernails piercing through his clothes. Her voice became unbearably shrill.
"Come on! Makino-kun! Tell me! Do you still love me like this?! Tell me!"
At this point, an ordinary person would probably have already fainted from fright.
Even someone brave would have been scared into retreating again and again.
Unfortunately, the girl had encountered An Xinghe!
A shameless old scumbag and an enormous lecher whose tastes were as broad as the solar spectrum!
An Xinghe not only showed no fear, but instead smiled gently.
"I love you! Of course I love you!"
"My love for you won't waver because of your appearance."
Livestream.
[Holy crap! I'm speechless! How can An Xinghe say "love" in a situation like this?!]
[Otherwise, why do you think An Xinghe can have a harem?! Everyone in the livestream, take notes!]
[I'm kneeling before An Xinghe!]
[I don't even dare look directly at a female ghost, but An Xinghe can stare at one from point-blank range and still say he loves her! Big brother, accept this little brother's bow!]
Chapter 67: The Ghost Left Reeling in the Wind!
After getting an affirmative answer from An Xinghe, the girl froze as well!
Then she became both agitated and furious.
"If you loved me! Why didn't you jump down with me back then?! Then we could have been together after we died!"
"You had to grab that damn railing at the last moment!"
"You made me die alone and turn into a ghost who could never attain Buddhahood!"
"I hate you, Makino-kun! I hate you!"
"But you love me."
"That makes it impossible for me to hate you..."
[Ding! Player An Xinghe has completed the Campus Horror Legend: The Female Ghost on the Rooftop.]
[Current quest progress: 1/5]
A smile curled across An Xinghe's lips. So this game was that easy.
No fighting, no running, and no straining his back. All he had to do was say "love," and he could clear it!
However, An Xinghe did not know that if he had hesitated for even one second just now, or shown the slightest trace of fear, the girl would have become a Vengeful Ghost and begun hunting him endlessly!
In other words, only a thick-skinned old scumbag like An Xinghe could clear this quest without taking damage!
Although he had completed the first quest, An Xinghe still intended to give the girl an answer. He took her hand.
"Actually, there was a reason I didn't jump down with you back then."
The girl's shattered eyeballs rolled twice, seemingly filled with anticipation.
"Makino-kun, what was the reason?"
"Because I'm afraid of heights."
With that, An Xinghe left in a carefree manner!
Leaving the female ghost reeling in the wind.
You're afraid of heights, yet you sat on the railing and chatted with me for ages just now!
Liu Qingmeng also received the notification that the quest progress had been updated.
She opened her small mouth in astonishment.
It had only been a few minutes, yet An Xinghe had already dealt with one supernatural entity?! Wasn't that speed terrifying?!
At first, she had thought this man was merely devastatingly handsome. She had never expected him to be so powerful as well!
