An Xinghe frowned. He had said so much, yet Liu Qingmeng was just staring at him blankly!
Does she even want to clear this instance or not?!
An Xinghe raised his voice and repeated:
"Miss Liu, did you understand?"
Only then did Liu Qingmeng snap out of her daze. Her face flushed slightly, and her expression was a little embarrassed:
"I remember."
An Xinghe nodded. "Good. The school building should be up ahead. I counted, there are three floors. You search the first floor, I'll search the second and third. The rooftop is mine, and the basement is yours. Any objections?"
"N-no objections."
"Good. It's almost been a minute since the System said. Let's start!"
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 by. Originally meant to be a pair, why did one suddenly fly away. The one left unseen, falls to the ground and turns to mud."
It explicitly stated that the location was the rooftop!
An Xinghe went directly to the rooftop.
This neon rooftop was different from the ones in China.
Many stories had happened here, such as the rescue of a girl who had a slip of the foot, the plan of a yandere girl to kill a scumbag, or a fight, or a date...
An Xinghe, being a seasoned old scumbag, wouldn't come to the rooftop unless necessary, because it was windy, and one could easily catch a cold if naked.
What I mean is, it's easy to catch a cold doing sunbathing naked.
But the rooftop here was very clean. It wasn't filled with the expected trash. On the railing at the edge of the rooftop sat a girl with long black hair and red hair.
The girl was sitting in a very dangerous position; a slight lean forward would send her falling!
He heard her say:
"Makino-kun, you're here."
Makino-kun, is she calling me?
Or is she calling the original character in this instance?
An Xinghe was confused, but he still replied:
"I'm here."
The girl's voice carried an apology:
"I'm so sorry, Makino-kun. I couldn't convince my parents. They still don't agree to us being together."
Huh? Parents who obstruct their children's relationships? Is there such a good thing?
An Xinghe couldn't help but think of his own parents. They had been urging him to get a girlfriend since middle school, even actively inviting female classmates to his house! Then they would say they were going out to play mahjong and lock the door, not returning all night.
By the time he got to college, his parents intensified their efforts. They specifically bought An Xinghe a house in a busy area, surrounded by clothing stores.
All for the sake of seeing a daughter-in-law quickly!
So when An Xinghe heard about parents who obstructed their children's relationships, he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill!
Before An Xinghe could reply, he heard the girl continue:
"I know they want me to get into a prestigious university, to make something of myself, so I've been studying hard! Even after I started dating you, my grades didn't drop!"
"Why do they have to stop us!"
After saying this, the girl patted the railing beside her:
"Makino-kun, come sit next to me. Let's talk."
At this moment, a scene suddenly appeared in An Xinghe's mind.
Reiner, sit down!
An Xinghe obediently walked over and sat down next to the girl.
Since the girl's profile was obscured by her hair, he couldn't see her face clearly.
He saw the girl swinging her legs on the railing, murmuring:
"Hey, hey, Makino-kun, do you love me?"
At this moment, even a fool would know how to answer!
"Yes! I love you very much!"
"Then... do you love me like this too?!"
The girl suddenly turned her head, and An Xinghe finally got his first clear look at her face.
It was less a face and more a collection of blurred flesh and blood! The skin on her nose was completely scraped off, exposing the bone. The flesh of her lips was turned inside out, and her eyeballs had shattered into glass balls!
Half of the skin on her face was gone, revealing the deep red muscles beneath!
Livestream Room.
[Holy shit! This is fucking terrifying!]
[I'm gonna puke! I'm actually gonna puke!]
[I can't take it anymore! That's a dead person's face!]
[Damn it! A horror game shouldn't show this kind of terrifying imagery without blurring it!]
[I've watched countless livestreams, and this is by far the most disgusting scene!]
[If we're feeling this bad, An Xinghe must be feeling like he's about to die!]
[I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!]
The maiden grabbed An Xinghe's arm, her long nails digging into his clothes, her voice becoming incredibly shrill:
"Come on! Makino-kun! Tell me! Do you still love me like this! Tell me!"
At this moment, anyone else would have likely fainted from fear.
Even brave individuals would have been scared into retreating repeatedly.
Unfortunately, the maiden encountered An Xinghe!
A man with an incredibly bold heart, a scumbag, and a pervert! Someone whose XP range was as wide as the solar spectrum!
An Xinghe not only showed no fear but instead smiled gently:
"Yes! Of course, I love you!"
"My love for you will not waver because of your appearance."
Livestream Room.
[Holy shit! I'm impressed! How could An Xinghe say "love" in this situation!]
[No wonder An Xinghe can have a harem! Everyone in the livestream room should learn from this!]
[I'm kneeling before An Xinghe!]
[I can't even bear to look at the female ghost, but An Xinghe can not only look her in the eye up close but also say he loves her! Eldest Brother, your little brother bows to you!]
Chapter 67: Ghost in a State of Disarray!
After receiving a positive answer from An Xinghe, the maiden was stunned!
Then, she became agitated and angry:
"Since you love me! Why didn't you jump down with me back then! That way, we could have been together after death!"
"You just had to grab that damn railing at the last moment!"
"Leaving me to die alone, becoming this ghost who can never achieve Buddhahood!"
"I hate you! Makino-kun! I hate you!"
"But you still love me."
"Which makes it impossible for me to hate you…"
[Ding! Player An Xinghe has completed the Five Great Campus Horror Legends: The Rooftop Female Ghost.]
[Current Quest Progress: 1/5]
A smile tugged at the corner of An Xinghe's lips. So, this instance was this simple.
No fighting, no running, and no need to strain his kidneys. All it took was saying "love" to clear it!
However, An Xinghe didn't know that if he had hesitated for even a second, or shown even a hint of fear, the maiden would have transformed into a vengeful ghost and begun an endless pursuit!
To put it simply, only a thick-skinned old scumbag like An Xinghe could pass this mission without taking any damage!
Although he had completed the first mission, An Xinghe still intended to give the maiden an answer. He held her hand:
"Actually, there was a reason I didn't jump with you back then."
The maiden's shattered eyeballs rolled slightly, seemingly filled with anticipation:
"Makino-kun, what was the reason?"
"Because I'm afraid of heights."
With that, An Xinghe swaggered away!
Leaving behind the female ghost in a state of disarray in the wind.
If you're afraid of heights, why were you sitting on the railing talking to me for so long just now!
Liu Qingmeng also received the notification of the quest progress update.
She opened her small mouth in surprise.
It's only been a few minutes, and An Xinghe already dealt with a bizarre entity?? This speed is too terrifying!
She initially thought this man was just ridiculously good-looking, but she didn't expect him to be so strong too!
