Looking at the four options, Su Yu touched her fingers, lost in thought.

With a crisp "clink," she felt a sudden weight on her wrist.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the bracelet that Wan'er, the bride, had given her before she left.

The heavy jade bracelet emitted a faint green light, carrying an extremely ominous aura.

"What does it want to do by appearing at this time? Is it trying to warn me?"

Su Yu tentatively asked about all four options: A, B, C, and D.

When asked about the third option, the bracelet emitted a buzzing sound.

The reaction was very strong!

"Am I being given a choice, or am I being told not to choose?"

Su Yu was utterly helpless.

However, after much deliberation, Su Yu, who was both skilled and daring, still chose option C directly!

After making her choice, Su Yu's vision gradually darkened.

Then, as if the darkness had become tangible, it tightly bound her, making her unable to move at all!

She didn't know how much time had passed before she heard people talking.

Furthermore, her body began to move uncontrollably.

"Hurry, hurry! Move the body over here and dump it!"

035. My companions are doomed.

"lighter!"

"Put it down and leave, don't linger!"

"Hurry up, all of you!"

Several noisy voices mixed with the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Su Yu was still unable to move, but she could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature was very low.

The smell of formaldehyde filled the air.

Thinking about the name of this instance, Su Yu roughly understood her current situation.

"This wave of players died right at the start."

Such a devilish start really caught Su Yu off guard.

Once the noise of talking and footsteps subsided, the system's task description appeared.

"Mission requirements: Solve the ghost story in Waichang Village."

"Note 1: Do not leave the outer village area before completing the task."

"Note 2: If necessary, a comrade may be sacrificed."

"Note 3: Good people don't necessarily get good rewards."

Upon seeing the mission description, Su Yu fell silent.

hemp eggs.

Waichang Village?

Why does this name sound so familiar?

She suddenly remembered a few years ago, a little-known Japanese anime, I think it was called something like "Shiki".

Because it's been a long time since I saw it, it's impossible for Su Yu to recall all the details.

However, she still remembered the general plot.

Simply put, Waichang Village is a secluded little village.

The village's economy comes from felling fir trees to make coffins; the entire village is surrounded by fir trees.

Of course, burial is the custom here.

This was the village that was invaded by ghouls. After a great battle between humans and ghouls, the village was left in ruins and burned to the ground, almost destroyed.

In the drama, the doctor's friend, the abbot of the temple, is an ultimate traitor and a saintly figure. At the last moment, he rescues the leader of the ghouls, directly betraying all of humanity... This is something that Su Yu complained about for a long time.

"Looks like I was the villain from the start!"

"A conscious corpse, doesn't that mean I'm going to turn into a zombie?"

"Axi!"

I don't know how long I stayed in the dark.

When she was finally able to move, Su Yu took out a hammer and smashed off the thing covering her head.

"I wonder how well they'll recreate that anime here."

Su Yu rubbed her stiff arms and looked around.

"As a ghoul, I'm tasked with solving ghost stories?"

"Considering all the other precautions, my companions are doomed."

"Well, then I'm sorry, everyone."

Clanging sounds also came from beneath the surrounding thin boards.

Soon, more players emerged from underground.

The scene was incredibly bizarre, but what was even more bizarre was that everyone who saw the other's image was more or less frightened.

Each player was dressed in standard funeral attire, and their faces were pale.

Clearly, everyone in this instance is already dead.

"Cough cough cough."

A girl with a hairstyle similar to Hatsune Miku's was coughing with difficulty as she slowly sat up.

Her position was closest to Su Yu.

"Oh dear, this is so strange, what's going on this time... cough cough cough..."

Other players also started complaining.

"They buried the player right at the start of the game, what's going on?"

"Moreover, I feel like I've stopped breathing and my heart isn't beating anymore!"

"So, does that mean we're already dead?"

How can I pass the level?

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, their tone filled with worry.

However, Su Yu could tell that their worries were mostly feigned.

There was a hint of suspicion and scrutiny in everyone's eyes.

Clearly, everyone's mission description is the same: when necessary, you have to sacrifice your comrades!

Su Yu did not intend to participate in their discussion.

She wasn't interested in such backstabbing and intrigue.

She inspected the morgue but didn't find any familiar faces or anything of value, so she prepared to leave.

"Hey, where are you going, wearing cat ears?!"

A girl with the same hairstyle as Hatsune Miku followed.

He habitually took Su Yu's arm.

"Sister, my name is Chu Ning. Let's work together from now on, so we can look out for each other."

"That's not necessary."

Su Yu unceremoniously brushed her hand away and gave her a cold look.

"Since we all have the same mission requirements, it would be safer for us to act separately from now on."

Chu Ning truly did not expect that Su Yu would directly expose this well-known secret.

For a moment, the atmosphere became quite awkward.

Even the players behind them, who were feigning solidarity and trying to support each other, froze.

Su Yu smiled slightly and said:

"I'll go first. Good luck to everyone."

Watching Su Yu's departing figure, Chu Ning's eyes gradually darkened.

In her view, Su Yu had become her primary target for elimination.

Such a straightforward companion is really hard to like.

……

……

Outside the hospital.

Night had fallen, and a heavy fog blanketed the outside world.

A pale, cold moonlight pierced through the clouds, casting a strained glow on the lifeless village.

Su Yu walked alone on the empty street, observing the current state of the village.

"Hmm, it seems that we've reached a point where ghouls are rampant and everyone is living in fear."

All the houses on both sides of the street were locked, and no light shone through any of the windows.

The air was filled with the smell of grave soil and a faint stench of decay.
