Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Here It Comes
The game Female Corpse Lottery might seem terrifying, but compared to hide and seek, its difficulty was far lower, and the benefit from the props correspondingly limited.
Take for example the longevity lock Shen Mo obtained; at first glance, it seems useful, but upon closer consideration, it paled in comparison to the frog’s mud.
The mud could instantly heal wounds nine times.
The longevity lock could only reduce injury severity three times, and the third time’s effect was practically negligible.
The only slight advantage, probably, was that the injuries the longevity lock could reduce were not limited to physical wounds.
Bai Youwei, facing the Inspector, scoffed again, “And what if I choose the female corpse in the coffin? Are you going to strip away the jewels and clothes on her body before handing her over to me?”
Ghost Fire hesitated, “Technically… that is correct.”
Bai Youwei gave a cold laugh, her eyes chillingly fixed on Ghost Fire.
Ghost Fire: “…”
For some reason, it took a small step back…
Remembering its divine status, it overcame its nervousness, moved forward again, letting its flames surge to demonstrate its aura.
Bai Youwei stormed off towards the door with a stern face.
Shen Mo stopped her, “Where are you going?”
Bai Youwei replied irritably, “I’m going out to cool off!”
Without another word, she rolled away in her wheelchair.
Shen Mo followed her out.
Fu Miaoxue immediately sprang out from behind Du Lai, curiously watching the spectacle, “Wow, they both left! Does this count as giving up the reward? Can we leave now?”
Ghost Fire said, “The game can only end after the reward distribution is completed.”
Fu Miaoxue pursed her lips, “That’s annoying. What if she never chooses a reward? Would we be stuck here forever?”
Du Lai held her hand and gave her a reassuring look.
—There was no food or drink here, they couldn’t stay long. Bai Youwei would have to return and choose her reward sooner or later.
While pondering this, they suddenly heard voices outside. The buzzing chatter was fine and fragmented, unclear what was being said, but it was clear there was more than two people.
At this moment, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo came back.
And three more people had joined them!
Tan Xiao! Chang Weicai! Pan Xiaoxin! Wearing pyjamas and slippers, they followed behind Bai Youwei with excited expressions!
Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai were taken aback, their eyes widened with surprise!
“What kind of prop does she have?! How can she conjure live people?!” Fu Miaoxue clutching Du Lai’s arm, exclaimed in disbelief, “That old man! The guy who recited ancient texts on the first night?!”
Bai Youwei ignored her, and instead walked straight up to Ghost Fire, questioning in a cold tone, “Is it true that any player who survives until the end of the game can choose a burial tribute, right?”
Ghost Fire looked at her in horror, its blue flames shaking violently!
Here it comes!
Here it comes!
She was about to exploit a loophole again!
“If the Inspector doesn’t answer, I’ll take it as a yes!” Bai Youwei coldly swung her hand, “Move everything.”
Tan Xiao rushed ahead and grabbed an incense burner!
Chang Weicai picked up a stringed instrument!
Pan Xiaoxin looked left to right, and grabbed a bronze mirror!
No…” Ghost Fire shook fiercely! Like a torch in the wind, the flame was chaotic!
In the midst of the chaos, a severed hand unnoticed by everyone slipped into the coffin and swiped up a handful of jewels!
And then sprang out of the coffin with a whoosh!
With lightning speed, it darted out of the room! The precious jewels scattered all over the floor with a clatter!
“No!!!” Ghost Fire finally roared and chased after it. But upon reaching the dollhouse, it encountered an invisible wall and could not get in no matter what!
“This is cheating!!!” Its hoarse roar echoed with indignation!
Bai Youwei followed through the door, she too was a bit surprised. She looked towards the Inspector and said, “You can’t blame me for this. I didn’t instruct it to do this. If I did, I definitely wouldn’t let it take just the gold and silver jewels.”
