We're already dead...
The idea was so bold that even Su Yu froze on the spot.
He thought of someone: Xu Tingfang.
Xu Tingfang was one of his few friends in the Ghost Story World. Once, Xu Tingfang had experienced a ghost story called [Close Your Eyes]. That ghost story had seemed almost impossible to solve, yet in the end, she and Du Bi'an had survived to the finish.
Xu Tingfang and Du Bi'an were still among the surviving players. Su Yu had also heard Xu Tingfang mention that the ghost story had been a trap right from its name. What they had needed to do in the end was open their eyes instead.
And this time, if the ghost story called [Death as Scheduled] also hid a trap in its name, then things really might be just as Xia Nan had said!
"If we're already dead, what do the light and the number of people mean?" Su Yu asked.
Xia Nan paused for a moment, then said, "I haven't figured that out yet either, but... if we're already dead, that would explain how this curse operates."
"We're the only ones who can witness any of the abnormal events, because we aren't living people."
"Assuming we're already dead, what conclusions can we draw? Where's the way out?" Su Yu still found this line of reasoning somewhat inconceivable. "Could what we need to do now be to bring ourselves back to life?"
Su Yu's words made Xia Nan pause. He thought of Liu Jingqing, who had just cleared the ghost story. Had something brought her back to life?
Or had some action of hers allowed her to "come back to life"?
"I'm not sure either. I'll contact Yue Qiuchi. There are clues to clearing this at Miss Liu's home. See you
