Chapter 78

After Feng Bu Jue had finished the ghost baby, the illusions around him disappeared altogether . Only those shattered pieces of glass in the corridor could prove that something had happened here .

Since there was still time before the next call, naturally, Feng Bu Jue continued to search around . As he had assumed, among the three remaining supernatural phenomena, besides the last one that he had not thought about yet, one of them was related to water dripping; perhaps it was some place that had faucets . Eighty or ninety percent that it would be the WC . About the human flesh soup, it would be in the canteen on the lowest floor of another building .

The map of this scenario wasn’t big, but it had many limits, just like the Usher’s House . However, it was even more difficult .

The building where Feng Bu Jue was had five floors, and it was shorter than the main building . According to his imagination, whether he would climb up the top four levels or not was still questionable . If he went there, it should be a chance that he could trigger the dripping water task before Like Rain or another Side Quest or Hidden Quest . If he didn’t go there, he should come directly to the canteen at the third building to see the phenomenon in the fifth paragraph of the folksong .

Although Like Rain had picked up the call fast and said that she was ‘Okay’, but she hung up the phone on him and that gave him a vague anxiety . When he quieted down to think about it he could see that his teammate wasn’t a troublemaker, so was it him who was wrong in this case?

Having contemplated for around one minute, Feng Bu Jue decided to check out the canteen . Anyway, it was a two-player scenario; as they didn’t know what kind of effects the other would have when one died, what if the system would announce that ‘Since the dead player can’t communicate, the other side will directly become the responsible player and become the target of the endless Ghosts pursuit” . If so, Feng Bu Jue would be so screwed .

Feng Bu Jue had set himself a goal of leaping to level 15 and in order to do that, completing the scenarios was the primary condition . Only if he could complete the scenario, he could receive the bonuses of Fear Rating which was 40% of the requested EXP to level up . Thus, he decided to complete the main clues first .

He left this building, walked across an open yard that had a shape of the letter ‘Hollow’ (凹), formed by the three building . After he had gone through a simple yet crooked corridor, he entered another building .

Feng Bu Jue pushed the door to enter the canteen . The space inside was relatively large . As usual, Feng Bu Jue raked his flashlight around the room . There were many long dining tables, and benches arranged neatly in the room . Lamps were hung over the tables, but it didn’t respond when Feng Bu Jue pressed the switch . The floor was decorated with white plain tiles, and the wall also looked insignificant . There was a row of washing basins on the left of the door . The food counter stood on the southeast direction, and the kitchen was behind it . Next to it was a snack bar and a vending machine stood not far from there . Blue-sky trash bins could be seen here and there . Generally, this was a high school canteen that was clean and conforming to the norms .

So . . . Where is the human flesh soup?

Currently, Feng Bu Jue didn’t find anything abnormal . So, walking around the canteen couldn’t trigger anything . Upon this thought, Feng Bu Jue really wanted to check out the kitchen…

When he was still thinking, the phone rang . Feng Bu Jue checked the phone . Unconsciously, it was time to talk again . He picked up the call immediately .

The call started, and both of them kept silent for a short while .

“The things before this…I’m sorry . ” Like Rain apologized first .

“Ah . . . Okay, I spoke the wrong things . ” Feng Bu Jue answered then changed the topic quickly, “How are you doing? Did you trigger a new quest?”

Like Rain answered, “I’m in the girl’s restroom on the second floor of the main building, the last stall . ”

Feng Bu Jue knew her situation wasn’t good at all as he could feel Like Rain’s voice was trembling insignificantly and her breath wasn’t stable .

“Are you okay?” Feng Bu Jue lowered his voice .

“I . . . ” Like Rain hesitated but she didn’t tell him that she got hurt, “I heard the water dripping so I came to the WC and saw the faucets were leaking with blood . The closer I came, the faster the blood flowed . Then, there was noise from the mirror just like something inside wanted to get out . I didn’t look at it . When I came back, I found that the WC’s door was closed by itself, and I couldn’t open it . ” She talked many things in just one breath as her intermittent voice became clearer, “I dodged my head, didn’t look in the mirror and hid inside a stall . Now there’s a pair of legs standing outside my stall . It stands still there . I…now I can’t fight . I’m blocked here…” Although she was brave, she was still a lady . Under this circumstance, she was scared as her voice had exposed a feeling of being helpless that she couldn’t press it down . “The water leaking sounds has become louder, and the WC floor is flooding with blood…”

Beep —— Beep —— Beep ——

It wasn’t her who hung up the phone on Feng Bu Jue again, but it was the time limit that interrupted their call .

While Feng Bu Jue was listening to her, he left the canteen, running to the main building .

The system’s warning echoed in his ears, “Caution . You are not allowed to face or approach your teammate . If you continue your action, it will lead to both of you receiving punishments of the ghosts pursuit . ”

“Cut it off! This is not the right time to consider this . . . ” Feng Bu Jue said annoyedly .

He was wearing the Dance of the Knight, running pass the internal rules board which read ‘Do not run on the corridor’ . Soon, he got to the main building . After taking a quick look at the map of the place on the first floor, he immediately came to the second floor, straight to the girls’ restroom .

Since the school wasn’t too big, when he got to the location of the place, it took him only three minutes to get to the door of the WC .

The door was closed, and it didn’t look strange as there was no blood leaking out under the door . However, Feng Bu Jue couldn’t turn the knob to open the door or call out to announce to Like Rain that he had arrived because the system had restricted their ways of communication . At this moment, he couldn’t make a sound .

Then, Feng Bu Jue concentrated on breaking the WC’s door . He kept the cellphone in his armpit and kept the flashlight in his mouth leaving both hands free . One of his hands was poking at the slit of the door with the chef knife, and the other hand was trying hard to turn the knob . But it didn’t work .

Apparently, this door wasn’t ‘locked’, but it was fixed by an unknown force . It was just useless to deal with the lock only .

No other way around…Hit the door then!

BANG —— BANG —— BANG ——

Feng Bu Jue’s shoulders were hurt . Now he started to admire Long-ge’s build . If Long-ge were here, this wooden door would be nothing . His arms were even bigger than Feng Bu Jue’s thighs, which he just needed to swing his shield two or three times to break this door .

However, Feng Bu Jue could only think about that way, at this moment, he had to depend on his thin shoulders to hit the door .

Like Rain could hear the banging sound from her stall . Although it was feeble, she soon understood what was going on as she had tried to see that she couldn’t make a sound now . The only explanation for this was Feng Bu Jue was near her .

Like Rain’s valor returned to her again when she knew that her teammate was here for her . She was a little bit touched, too . Nevertheless, she immediately thought about the results of this rescue, of which both of them would become the targets of the Ghosts pursuit .

It would possibly be developed this way: originally, only Like Rain would die, but now, after Feng Bu Jue saved her, both of them were going to die .

Feng Bu Jue was trying to hit the door, and it cost a bit of his Survival Value . Anyway, this effort wasn’t wasted . One minute later, he successfully broke the door and got into the space . When the wooden door that separated the supernatural space with the outside was broken physically, the dense smell of blood immediately slapped his face .

Feng Bu Jue could feel clearly that he suddenly got dizzy . After the door had opened, things in his sight immediately became odd, just like a scene by an old-fashioned filming technique . It brought him a feeling of fading hue as everything in his eyes was like they had been filmed in the same frame, which looked very unnatural .

The WC’s floor was flooding with blood . When stepped on it, he had to be careful or else he would trip . Moreover, when he lifted his foot, he could feel his shoes were annoyingly sticky . The faucets at the basins were flowing with red liquid . The blood had filled the basin and overflowing on the ground nonstop .

[Don’t look at the mirror] – this was a very clear hint . When they were calling, Like Rain also said that she didn’t look in the mirror .

Feng Bu Jue assumed that since she hadn’t looked in the mirror, she was just blocked there without further serious consequences . He took several steps inside and started to search the place with his flashlight . Soon, he saw a bloody figure stood at a corner deep inside the WC . This ghost was a schoolgirl in uniform, and her entire body was covered with solidified blood . A faint light of the portable lamp shone out from the stall in front of the bloody figure .

Feng Bu Jue wanted to go forward and attack that ghost, but he found that he couldn’t move as the blood on the ground was moving and grabbing his ankles, just like a pair of fluid-formed claws that glued Feng Bu Jue on the ground .

He coldly snorted and made a very bold move…

Feng Bu Jue suddenly turned his head, looking directly at the mirror over the washing basin .

Feng Bu Jue’s reflection in the mirror didn’t have eyeballs, and his two empty sockets were bleeding . One second after he had seen himself in the mirror, the bloody figure changed its target, coming closer to him . In just a blink, it appeared in front of Feng Bu Jue’s face, almost stuck to his face .

At this moment, Feng Bu Jue finally saw that the black hair of the ghost didn’t outline a face . The ghost’s skull was formed by numerous eyes . A bunch of black and white eyeballs were gathering and creeping together as blood was constantly gushing out from the splits between those eyeballs .

The ghost then stretched its claws exploring Feng Bu Jue’s eyes as if it wanted to take out his eyes and supplement them to its skull… With a closer look, the skin of the ghost wasn’t covered with blood . Besides the head, its body was formed by blood indeed .

It was just his foot being confined, Feng Bu Jue’s body was still able to act . Moreover, his Fear Value was 0, why should he wait and die there? His action was even faster than words, swinging the wrench, hitting on that ‘Eyeball Head’…
