Chapter 504: Female Fate Corpse
Shen Mo and Bai Youwei were both taken aback.
“We… made the ghost?” Bai Youwei said in amusement and annoyance, “The people who created the ghost should be you! We followed your car and ended up in this ghostly place!”
Du Lai, who previously had a grin on his face, was noticeably agitated and rebuffed, “What kind of ghost could we make?! We just wanted to get to the maze, but obviously ended up in the wrong place!”
Du Lai’s girlfriend complained, “Can we stop mentioning ghosts all the time? It’s already scary enough, and you people keep bringing up the ghost!”
Bai Youwei was speechless. The most ghost-like person here was this woman! She was drenched, with wet black clothes covering every inch of her body, her face barely visible. Yet she complained about their usage of the word ‘ghost’!
How ridiculous! Could anyone be more horrifying than her current state?
The rain trickled more heavily.
Shen Mo frowned and said, “Let’s talk about it in the car.”
Not wanting to be polite, Du Lai took his girlfriend by the hand and got into the back seat, immediately bringing a wave of damp chill with him.
“Our car can’t be driven.” Du Lai wiped the rain off his face and said to Shen Mo, “Can yours drive?”
Shen Mo got back to the driver’s seat, tried to start the vehicle, but got no response.
“The car won’t start,” he said in a deep voice.
“Du Lai, look!” his girlfriend said, clutching Du Lai’s arm in fear, “There’s something coming!”
Bai Youwei also looked in that direction, just in time to see a faint light in the distance, the size of a soybean at first, gradually becoming larger… This light was slowly bobbing in the dark curtain of rain, like a person carrying a lantern approaching them!
However, when it got closer, they realized it was not a lantern, but a bunch of ghoulish, blue Ghost Fire!
Despite the rain, the fire remained unaffected, leisurely floating in the air, coming all the way to the front of Shen Mo’s car, it’s flickering flame taking the form of a spectral face.
“Ding! Welcome to the Doll Game! This game’s theme is ‘Fortune Corpse’, and the rules are as follows:
One: Refuse the game and become a doll!
Two: Lose the game and become a doll!
Three: Complete the game and receive doll as a reward!”
A familiar voice rang out, and the four people in the car simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to multiple uncertainties, at least the game was controllable, the game had rules.
However, contemplating the idea of cooperating with unknown allies and opponents caused their nerves, which were just beginning to relax, to once again become tense.
Bai Youwei turned to Du Lai in the back seat and asked hesitantly, “Du Lai, did you create this game?”
“Me?!” Du Lai snorted sarcastically, “Miss Bai, you overestimate me. I don’t have the ability to command the Inspector!”
Bai Youwei’s eyebrows knitted slightly.
It seemed that Du Lai did not know that certain items could activate a game, like the gold coin Tan Xiao once obtained.
Observing the situation outside the vehicle, Shen Mo said, “Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any games near the maze. This game probably started roaming after the maze expanded, and hasn’t had the chance to relocate.”
Based on prior experiences and information provided by Professor Song, they knew that every game would avoid the maze while moving. So, the periphery of the maze often forms an apparently safe “void zone”, an area without any maze or games.
Of course, this safety is only temporary, as the maze could expand at any moment.
Moreover, once the maze disappears, the games nearby would still be attracted and relocated here.
The base in Shanghai was established utilizing this characteristic.
Bai Youwei looked around, aside from the tranquil Ghost Fire floating around, she couldn’t see anything else in the pitch-black surroundings.
“Since we’ve already entered the game, why don’t we see the Inspector?… Could that fire be the Inspector?”
