Chapter 42: Fainting (6)

Source: https://www.gongzicp.com/novel-1388844.html

Although Qin Su really didn’t look like a bad ghost, wasn’t the nature of ghosts to kill people, hurt people, and lie?

Maybe everything Qin Su said was true, but it was also possible that all of it was fake.

Even if Qin Su’s words were half true and half false, which part was true and which part was fake?

Shu Yushuang didn’t want to waste time sorting it out.

And Shu Yushuang had another concern.

Was the one who kept talking to her really Qin Su?

After all, Qin Su hadn’t shown herself even once.

With only a voice, Shu Yushuang of course wouldn’t easily believe the one talking to her was Qin Su.

After all, Qin Su herself had never appeared in front of her.

Who knew if this was another trap of the dungeon.

Shu Yushuang asking Qin Su those questions wasn’t just idle talk.

She wanted to test indirectly whether the one talking to her was really Qin Su.

But based on the information she had now, she still couldn’t make a clear judgment.

“Qin Su, do you think the village chief lied?”

“No. Everything she said was true.”

“How can you be sure? Do you know the truth behind this dungeon?”

“I don’t know.

But judging from her expression, tone, and physical reactions, she wasn’t lying.

Unless she’s someone very good at hiding herself.”

“Qin Su, listening to you is like listening to nothing.”

Qin Su made a funny face.

Then she remembered Shu Yushuang couldn’t see her and immediately put her expression away.

“Go to sleep early. Rest well. We’ll investigate again tomorrow. I’ll help you watch the details in this dungeon at any time.”

These words from Qin Su got no response.

The time in the “movie” skipped again.

The next morning, when Shu Yushuang went downstairs, she was surprised to find that all the other Executors were sitting in the living room.

Shu Yushuang looked at them with caution and didn’t move closer right away.

At this moment, Sun Tingting stepped out, trying to ease the mood.

“Shu Yushuang, today we plan to find that woman you mentioned. What about you? Do you have any plans?”

“What’s your purpose for coming to this village?”

Shu Yushuang had already started to suspect that the other Executors’ tasks weren’t the same as hers.

“Sightseeing.”

“Then why are you so concerned about what happened in this village?”

“Just curious, then why are you concerned about what happened here?”

“Exorcising ghosts.”

Sun Tingting put on an admiring expression.

She asked Shu Yushuang, “Then do you want to come with us today?”

Shu Yushuang refused directly.

“No. I have other things to do.”

Shu Yushuang wasn’t lying to Sun Tingting.

She really did have other things to do.

She went to the edge of the fields.

The car she drove here before was still parked there safely.

Shu Yushuang tried to start the car again.

This time, it actually worked.

She drove the car toward the village entrance.

The result didn’t surprise her.

She really couldn’t drive the car out of the village.

Shu Yushuang leaned out and looked outside the village.

The road she came from was gone.

Outside the village was only empty nothingness, completely cutting the Executors and the village off from the outside world.

Shu Yushuang turned the car around and drove slowly along the small roads in the village.

She remembered that after driving the car into the village before, the fuel tank was only half full.

But now it was completely full again.

She didn’t believe there was any kind person in the village who helped her refuel.

Thinking while driving, Shu Yushuang suddenly realized she had arrived at a very unfamiliar place.

Although Shu Yushuang had only come to this village for two days, it was such a small village that you could walk it back and forth in one day.

Through these two days of investigation, she wouldn’t say she knew the place like the back of her hand, but she had basically walked every inch of the village.

She was very sure that the place she had accidentally come to now was somewhere she had definitely never been during her earlier investigation.

The houses on this street were mostly two story buildings.

Although these buildings didn’t look especially luxurious, they were still much better than the mud brick houses Shu Yushuang had seen before.

This street looked completely out of place with Zhoujia Village, like it was already another village.

On the previous street, apart from the car Shu Yushuang drove, there were no other cars.

But here, cars were coming and going on the street, lively and bustling.

Shu Yushuang didn’t dare to be distracted like just now anymore.

Otherwise, something might happen.

She drove slowly while observing the pedestrians on both sides of the road.

These people were clearly different from the villagers of Zhoujia Village.

The villagers of Zhoujia Village only had lifelessness and sinister air on their faces, while these people were full of vitality.

From the surface, this place looked like an ordinary village.

The villagers here didn’t seem abnormal at all.

But the key problem now was that Shu Yushuang had no idea where this place was.

Everything here was so unfamiliar to her.

At this moment, villagers who looked completely normal were the biggest abnormality in her eyes.

She tried to return to the original place.

However, she drove along the road she came from for a long time and still didn’t see the original Zhoujia Village.

But when she turned around again, in less than two minutes, she saw the same scene as before.

Shu Yushuang understood that she was trapped here.

She stopped a passerby to ask what place this was.

The passerby told her very warmly, “This is Zhoujia Village.”

Still Zhoujia Village?

How was that possible?

Could it be a village with the same name?

Shu Yushuang asked the passerby about the matter the village chief had told her before.

The passerby kept shaking his head, saying he had never heard of it.

The expression on his face didn’t look fake either.

Shu Yushuang didn’t believe this was another village completely unrelated to the previous one.

Otherwise, she couldn’t have wandered into it by mistake.

What place was this exactly?

Was her accidental entry affected by the dungeon?

Shu Yushuang gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.

Her palms were already covered in sweat.

But the most nervous one right now was Qin Su.

“Why did it go black? Does this kind of situation often happen on your side?”

“No, it has never happened before.”

Fang Xiqiong stood up from her chair in confusion.

After running this cinema for so many years, she had never seen a black screen before.

She walked to the equipment and checked it carefully.

In the end, she concluded that the equipment hadn’t malfunctioned.

But that made the black screen even harder to explain.

Qin Su tightly grabbed the armrest of the chair.

She asked Fang Xiqiong nervously, “Is it possible that something happened to her?”

Fang Xiqiong didn’t look any more relaxed than Qin Su.

She slowly shook her head.

“I don’t know.”

The black screen lasted for a long time.

During this period, Qin Su and Fang Xiqiong didn’t speak.

Qin Su was too worried and had no mood to talk about anything else.

Fang Xiqiong also didn’t know how to comfort her.

But no matter how much the one human and one ghost worried on this side, Shu Yushuang still had to continue the dungeon.

She drove along the main road straight ahead, but soon reached the end of the road.

At the end was an extremely narrow path.

Shu Yushuang had no choice but to get out of the car and walk.

She walked carefully, staying alert to the people behind her.

But those people kept doing their own things and didn’t pay any attention to Shu Yushuang at all.

Even so, Shu Yushuang didn’t dare to relax.

She slightly turned her body and watched the pedestrians with the corner of her eye.

There was no abnormality at all.

Was she overthinking it?

Shu Yushuang quickly walked through that narrow path.

On the other end of the path was a completely different scene.

A wedding procession walked straight toward Shu Yushuang, and she at once moved aside to avoid them.

When the tall horse passed by her, she discovered a very terrifying fact.

That horse, and the person riding it, were both made of paper.

The paper groom on the horse suddenly turned his head ninety degrees to face her at the instant he passed Shu Yushuang.

On that pale white face, the eyes were only two thin slits.

With a curved mouth, it looked like he was squinting and smiling.

Shu Yushuang took a deep breath and quickly stepped back a few steps, until her back pressed tightly against the wall.

At this time, the groom also turned his head back and led the wedding procession forward.

When the sedan chair reached Shu Yushuang, maybe by coincidence, the wind just lifted the newly hung curtain.

Shu Yushuang gathered her courage and glanced inside.

She found that the bride was actually a normal living person.

When Shu Yushuang looked into the sedan chair, the bride also raised her eyes.

With a face full of misery, she looked at Shu Yushuang.

In a daze, Shu Yushuang only felt like a heavy hammer fiercely smashed into her chest.

She almost couldn't breathe.

When she came back to her senses again, that team had already vanished without a trace.

In front of Shu Yushuang, there was only a stretch of wild grass.

She hurried back along the road she came from.

Luckily, she did not meet any obstruction and smoothly returned to her car.

Shu Yushuang sat inside the car, and the bride’s gaze would not leave her mind.

She could almost feel the bride’s despair as if it were her own.

Shu Yushuang raised her head again and looked around.

This place was still prosperous and still lively.

A guess suddenly formed in her heart.

Could this be Zhoujia Village before that incident happened?

After that incident, Zhoujia Village’s economic situation rapidly worsened.

That caused it to become the way Shu Yushuang saw when she entered the dungeon.

But no matter how bad the economy was, it would not tear down already built small buildings and rebuild mud houses, right?

And in that era, did the villagers even have the ability to build such good houses?

Shu Yushuang turned the car around once more.

If she did not guess wrong, she had entered this place by mistake only because of the development of the “plot”.

When the “plot” reached this stage, some things that happened in the past had to let her see them.

Before, she could never leave this place because she had not yet seen those “plots”.

Now that she had seen them, could she leave?

She drove back along the main road.

Sure enough, she smoothly left the prosperous village and returned to the desolate village.

As she returned, images appeared again on the cinema screen.

Qin Su finally let out a breath of relief.

“Shu Yushuang, what happened just now?”

“You didn’t see it?”

“No, the screen went black just now.”

“Black screen? What are you using to watch me?”

“Do you remember your last dungeon?”

“I remember. alright, I understand.”

Shu Yushuang remembered that the location of her last dungeon was a strange cinema.

It seemed that the Regulator there used some method to turn her experiences in this dungeon into a “movie”.

Although Shu Yushuang’s guess was only half right, it was not far off.

Except for the source of the movie, she guessed everything right.

But this movie could actually do real time broadcast.

That made Shu Yushuang feel very amazed, and also a bit uncomfortable.

Who would like every move of their own to be filmed into a movie and shown to others?

“Qin Su, can you monitor me in real time now?”

“Of course not. I already told you, it went black here just now.”

“Then what about when it’s not black? Can you see my every move?”

“Actually, a large part in the middle is directly skipped. But don’t worry, it won’t affect me helping you pass the dungeon.”

“Qin Su, why are you so persistent about helping me pass the dungeon? You’re a vengeful ghost, and ghosts and humans should be on opposite sides.”

This question made Qin Su not know how to answer.

It was not until Shu Yushuang drove to the village chief’s house that she said,

“Not all ghosts want to kill people. I also want to help you. We’re all cursed, trapped by that damned game. Why can’t I help you?”

Shu Yushuang was stunned.

She had thought that the mission of vengeful ghosts was to kill people,

and the mission of Executors was to escape from vengeful ghosts and complete the task.

But what she did not expect was that some vengeful ghosts were also forced.

They didn't want to kill people, and they even wanted to help people.
