Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

The shop owner was a plump middle-aged woman. When she saw Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu arrive, her eyes practically lit up.

"Oh my, where did these two handsome young men come from? Come on over! Everything in the supermarket is 10% off for you today!"

The old ladies at the door burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Qiao Xiaomei, you shameless old hag, you actually flirted with that handsome young tourist! And you even offered a 10% discount? Your 10% discount sign has been up for almost a year now!"

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu followed the signs the old ladies pointed to and indeed saw a small sign with faded, pale lettering: "Store is having a sale, all items are 10% off."

Ji Han/Shi Shaoyu...

Faced with the teasing looks from everyone, Ji Han's face turned even colder with embarrassment. Shi Shaoyu, on the other hand, seemed to be having a moment of ecstasy, smiling and greeting each of the old ladies individually before pulling Ji Han into the supermarket.

Unlike the supermarket Ji Han had seen in the bustling town, this Huanshan Village really resembled the real human world. Even the items in the supermarket were exactly the same as those in a real-world small supermarket.

Ji Han then used his mental power to carefully scan all the goods inside. These were indeed from the human world, but almost everything inside was expired. Ji Han checked the time and found that most of the items were from twenty years ago.

In the end, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had no choice but to buy a large bag of sunflower seeds produced 20 years ago. As soon as they left the supermarket, Shi Shaoyu opened the package and grabbed a handful from each of the old ladies, including the supermarket owner. Then, he sat down next to the old ladies as if they were old friends, peeled the sunflower seeds, and started chatting with them.

Most of the old ladies talked about whose daughter-in-law was unfilial, which family was at odds with which family and had quarreled, or gossiped about whose daughter-in-law didn't know how to manage a household, and so on.

After listening for more than two hours, Ji Han and his group finally got some useful information: they should never go out at night in Huanshan Village, otherwise they might be caught and eaten by the mountain ghost. As for what the mountain ghost looked like, no one knew. They only knew that it wore red clothes and would eat people it saw.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu exchanged a glance; it seemed they wouldn't be getting a good night's sleep tonight.

Having gleaned no further useful information, the two stood up and strolled back. They hadn't gone far when they bumped into Du Xiuxiu and her group. Ji Han and his companion intended to simply nod and move on, but Du Xiuxiu deliberately stopped them.

"Shi Han, Ji Yu, we just heard that it's dangerous to go out in the mountain village at night. Remember to lock the doors and windows when you go to bed tonight and don't wander around."

Upon being called by the names Shi Han and Ji Yu, Ji Han didn't immediately react. Fortunately, Shi Shaoyu was smooth enough to answer before even realizing it.

"Okay, thank you, Captain Du. We'll definitely lock the doors and windows for the next two nights and won't leave the house."

Anyway, they also have mental energy. If they can't go out physically, they can go out with their mental energy. However, Shi Shaoyu didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face by himself just a few hours after saying that.

Back at Qiao Jin's house, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu went inside and didn't come out. The two of them secretly cooked a small meal in the house, then washed up briefly, lay down on the bed, and were really ready to go to sleep.

In the dead of night, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were woken up by their own alarms. Once they were fully awake, they used their spiritual power to probe outside, and good heavens! What on earth was going on here!

The village seemed to have changed drastically at night. There were significantly fewer brick and tile houses and many more mud-brick houses. The streets were also noticeably more dilapidated than before, and there were even many houses that were not there during the day.

The entire village was shrouded in a thick fog, from which faint red light emanated.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In the thick fog, there was a tall, red figure with a veil covering her head. She was pulling a large, headless machete and searching for something as she walked down the street. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu watched the red figure from afar as she raised the machete and hacked at the gates in front of her one by one.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu watched helplessly as the red-clad monster raised his knife and began killing the people inside the house one by one. For a moment, the entire courtyard was filled with howls and screams. Soon, the sound of the horns subsided and disappeared completely before the red-clad monster emerged with a blood-dripping cleaver.

The following situation is that the red-clad ghost walks and cuts as she goes. Not to mention the small courtyard gates, even the big iron gates on the brick and tile houses cannot withstand the fierce blows of the red-clad female ghost.

Ji Han even spotted several players fleeing through the thick fog. It wasn't that those players didn't want to return to the courtyards they had been assigned to during the day; unfortunately, the courtyard gates were open, but the scene inside was quite different from what he saw now.

No matter how well these players hide, the woman in red can still find them and cut off their heads one by one. You know, when players die, they really die; but like those other monsters, they can be resurrected as soon as they are restored.

And so, the red-clad female ghost continued hacking and slashing tirelessly all night long. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu also used their mental energy to observe her all night long. Apart from knowing that the red-clad female ghost should live at the far east end of the village, they found nothing else. In fact, because the red veil on the female ghost's head had the effect of blocking mental energy, they were unable to see the female ghost's face clearly.

Having not slept all night, the next day at cockcrow and sunrise, the thick fog of the night dissipated, and the figure of the female ghost also disappeared. At the same time, the street from twenty years ago also disappeared. Oh, it is worth mentioning that at night, everything was dark except for that small shop, which had a dim yellow light on, but was not attacked by the female ghost in red.

Ji Han had a feeling that the supermarket owner might know something, but they were too tired after staying up all night, so they could only wait until the afternoon to ask her.

At 4:45 PM, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu finally opened their eyes. They had slept from dawn until almost 5 PM. They took out their toiletries from their spatial storage, washed up quickly, ate a quick bite, and then headed straight for the small supermarket.

When they arrived, they saw several players circling around the supermarket owner, including Du Xiuxiu and her old partner Chang Shuo.

Shi Shaoyu took out some sunflower seeds that he hadn't finished shelling yesterday from the storage compartment and handed them to the old ladies watching the commotion in the back row, asking them gossipy questions as he did so.

"Grandma, what's going on up there?"
