Chapter 553: Chapter 553: End of the End
Ghost Fire is in pain!
Lots of pain!
It looks at Bai Youwei, then at Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, Chang Weicai, and Pan Xiaoxin who are following her.
“It’s you!!!…….”
Before it could finish, the four shook their heads in unison.
Tan Xiao shakes his head particularly quickly. His shabby hair swings back and forth, as if shaking off all responsibility: “It’s not us! That wasn’t our hand!”
Bai Youwei quickly recovers from her surprise and instead looks curiously at the Ghost Fire. “It’s strange… they’re just some jewelry, why such a big reaction? Will this get you punished? What kind of operating mechanism is there within you inspectors? Is there a reward and punishment system? Is there competition among you? Are there different ranks among the inspectors?…”
Ghost Fire is afraid of her probing questions!
“No!” It replied, “Please do not ask questions unrelated to the game…..”
“Ah!” Bai Youwei suddenly gives a soft shout, pointing at the dollhouse door, “The hand is coming out!”
Ghost Fire shivers violently!
Seeing the little white hand crawling quickly towards the vaults, it panics. “Game rewards have been settled! Settled!”
Shadows flash before everyone’s eyes—
The scene changes, and they’re back beside the road. Not far from them, their car is parked.
The game is over.
…
Within the massive diamond-shaped space, the pure white cube’s light flickers on and off.
Ghost Fire stands in front of the cube, burning quietly.
A ball rolls past it.
“Oh! ~ It’s rare to see you repairing the game!” The ball stops to join the fun, “You look awful. Did you get robbed? Hahaha!”
The core of its green-blue flame is extremely pale, that’s its “expression”.
Ghost Fire doesn’t speak. The ball continues, “There are fewer and fewer players lately, the game is being activated less often, I’m so bored. Even if I wanted to repair the game, I wouldn’t have the opportunity!”
Ghost Fire: “…”
The ball probably is really bored. It rolls around on the spot a few times and then talks to Ghost Fire again, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t be silent like a real ghost just because your image is set to be Ghost Fire~”
Finally, Ghost Fire couldn’t stand it any longer and earnestly told the ball, “Your dollhouse… has caused significant damage to my game! Now that you have nothing to do, you should thoroughly inspect the game instances you are responsible for to prevent similar errors from happening!”
Ball: “…”
Two seconds later, the ball responded reluctantly, “How could you say it was my dollhouse… It isn’t my dollhouse anymore. And the dollhouse can’t be used in the game, players can’t even enter, how could it have any impact?”
Ghost Fire is agitated, “But the items can go in! And players can come out from inside!”
It’s relatively easy to understand why the players can come out. The doll game always encourages players to participate actively, so they wouldn’t prevent players from entering the game in game production rules, only from leaving the game!
As for the items being able to go in, the ball was confused and murmured, “Whoever’s item it is, go find them~~ It’s got nothing to do with me.”
Ghost Fire: “But…”
Before it can finish speaking, suddenly all the blocks in the space start to flicker!
Soon, all the inspectors emerged from their respective game instances, rabbit-headed people, comic men, elders in gray robes… they all gather together, as if they’re welcoming a grand event!
The ball happily exclaims, “Awesome! This is the hint that the maze progress is more than halfway!”
The rabbit-headed people look around, the cube is gradually returning to normal.
“We can now start planning the Maze War.” It calmly says, “More than 55% of the puzzle pieces have been activated. The preliminary rounds will start soon. Everyone please get ready.”
