Chapter 58 What's Going On?!

"What happened?!"

Fang Yue's expression changed as he immediately went to Tail's side, carefully observing the surroundings.

But... there was nothing.

Under his Analytical Eyes, he didn't see anything strange, nor did anything happen. The surroundings were... frighteningly quiet.

He couldn't help but lower his voice, asking with concern, "Tail, are you okay? Were you attacked by some strange entity? Can you sense the direction it left in?"

Fang Yue suspected that his Analytical Eyes hadn't worked yet and he couldn't see the strangeness, or that he had encountered some extremely difficult strange entity.

But he didn't get a response for a long time.

When he looked back, he saw Tail blushing, looking at him with a rather embarrassed expression.

"I, I'm fine... Yue-ge, I just felt a sudden stabbing pain in my chest, but I don't feel anything now. You're too nervous."

Fang Yue: ???

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Completely fine!"

Tail spun around in place and even jumped twice, not feeling anything at all. It was as if the sudden, bone-splitting pain was just an illusion.

Tail remembered seeing similar explanations before.

Scientifically speaking, it seemed to be called phantom pain, somewhat similar to what netizens often called phantom limb pain, but still a bit different.

Because just now, Tail really felt a sudden, very intense stabbing pain in her chest.

But it was only for a moment. After that instant of pain, she didn't feel anything at all, and there was no feeling of being injured.

Moreover, before that, she hadn't felt anything unusual, nor had she discovered any traces of strangeness.

So she didn't take it to heart.

At this moment, Hai Ming suddenly asked with a strange expression, "Tail goddess, did you, did you just have a sudden sharp pain in your chest?"

"Yes."

Tail's tone immediately became indifferent, responding calmly.

This differential treatment immediately cooled Hai Ming's heart, who was about to speak.

Fang Yue said at this time, "Don't be careless. I suspect you might have been attacked by a strange entity just now, but the strange entity's attack method was too secretive, and none of us noticed it. Maybe the strange entity that attacked you just now is lurking around."

Fang Yue didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

After the four of them explored the surroundings and found nothing unusual, Fang Yue felt a little relieved.

However, he was still puzzled. Although he knew this game was unusual, what was going on with the simulated stabbing pain? Could it be that Tail's real body had a big problem?

Thinking of this, Fang Yue asked Tail to exit the game first to check if she was feeling unwell, while the three of them stayed in place to be vigilant.

After a while, Tail came back online.

"I'm really fine, Yue-ge, you're too careful!"

Tail didn't have heart disease, and her daily life was quite regular, so there was nothing wrong with her body. How could anything happen?

"Okay, then let's continue moving forward."

After walking for a while, they found the second open room.

The door of the room was not made of bronze, but a flowing water curtain.

The water curtain rustled, making it impossible to see what was inside the room.

Fang Yue frowned, not acting rashly.

"Yue-ge, let me go in first to explore the situation."

Tail said at this time. After all, this was her trial, and she felt a little bad always letting others take risks. kanδん

However, Fang Yue stopped her. First, he threw a small iron ball into the water curtain to test it. After discovering that the iron ball passed through the water curtain and returned a normal sound of hitting the ground, he then let Tail lead the way.

"Then I'll go."

Tail took the lead and went directly into the water curtain.

Fang Yue was just about to enter second when he suddenly heard a loud 'thud!!'

Before he could react to what had happened, a figure flew out of the water curtain, and the blood splattered directly stained the water curtain and the ground red.

Fang Yue's expression changed, and he quickly looked at the figure flying out, which was actually... Tail!

She was currently lying on the ground, clutching her chest, coughing up blood non-stop, and her clothes were gradually being stained red with blood.

"Tail?!"

"Tail goddess!"

"Hey! Are you okay!"

The three exclaimed and quickly came to Tail's side.

Fang Yue sat on the ground and held Tail in his arms, quickly feeding her pills to restore her qi and blood.

He couldn't help but send a message to Tail, "Okay, don't speak, just rest well. If you have anything, just send me a message, I can see it. I'll take you back to the bronze room now, the water gate might still be there. As soon as we get out of the water gate, I'll immediately contact Ni Dongmei and have her save you!"

After sending the message, Fang Yue looked at Tail firmly.

Then, he received a reply message from Tail.

"???"

"Yue-ge, what are you talking about? What do you mean rest well? My chest really doesn't hurt anymore. Besides, I haven't found the jade pendant yet, so I'm not going back! Also, you guys are too slow. Didn't we agree to follow closely behind me? Why have I been waiting in the water curtain room for almost five or six minutes and haven't seen any of you?"

Fang Yue: ...

Fang Yue: ???

Fang Yue: !!!

Fuck!

What's going on?!

Looking at the message Tail had replied to, Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat. A chill instantly climbed up his spine, and his whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cave. He stiffly turned his neck and looked at the 'Tail' he was holding.

If... Tail was still in the water curtain room, then what the hell was he holding right now?!!

Just as Fang Yue was about to pull out his blade and stab the thing in his arms in half, Hai Ming suddenly rushed out from the side and pushed Fang Yue aside. With tears in his eyes, he tightly grasped Tail's hand.

"T-Tail goddess! How could this be? How could this really happen? So the previous corpse was really you, really you! It's all my fault. If I had discovered it earlier, you wouldn't have died!"
