Chapter 14 The Truth about the Ghost House

When passing the eerie little boy, Shen Wei suddenly stopped.

"Here are your two marbles, brother found them! Just so you know, I didn't cheat!"

The eerie little boy standing in the darkness clearly hadn't expected Shen Wei to do this. He froze for a moment, then slowly reached out and took them, saying softly, "Thank you, brother!"

"Don't be naughty next time! You hear me!"

Shen Wei was about to leave when, catching the light of his flashlight, he saw that the pale-faced boy had no eyes. In their place were two dark, gaping holes, from which black blood constantly flowed, making him look terrifying.

The eerie little boy must have sensed Shen Wei looking at him, and he quickly turned his head away.

"What happened to your eyes?"

There was a hint of sadness in Shen Wei's voice.

"Why do you ask so many questions, brat? What if you anger this little devil? I won't help you!"

The Evil God Right Hand was clearly unhappy with Shen Wei's presumptuousness.

In truth, Shen Wei regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth. But what's said is said, the die was cast, and he could only resign himself to fate.

But to Shen Wei's surprise, the eerie little boy without eyes didn't go berserk and attack him.

He simply said calmly, "My eyes were dug out by bad people. Go quickly, brother, they're coming..."

Shen Wei wanted to ask more, but after hearing the little boy's words, his expression changed. Just then, he heard heavy footsteps behind him, and the ear-piercing scratching of a sharp blade against the wall. Shen Wei turned to look, but the endless darkness blocked his vision, and he couldn't see what was coming.

"What secrets are hidden in this ghost house? Are they related to Morning Light Amusement Park?"

By the time Shen Wei turned back around, the eerie little boy without eyes had disappeared.

"Something terrible is coming! Quick, go to the break room, your flashlight won't last much longer!"

The Evil God Right Hand urged the dazed Shen Wei.

Shen Wei then snapped out of his trance and ran quickly toward the break room ahead. As he sped up, the thing chasing him also sped up, its hurried footsteps dogging his heels, as if it would catch him at any moment and give him a fatal blow.

At this point, the hairs on the back of Shen Wei's neck stood on end, and he was running at his limit. The break room wasn't far away. Finally, at the critical moment, he burst into the break room, which was lit with a yellow glow, and slammed the door shut.

"That was close! I almost bit the dust!"

Shen Wei thought to himself.

"Don't waste your energy, that door isn't locked. But those malicious ghosts can't get in because of the lights, so you can rest assured..."

A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind Shen Wei.

"Crap, there's someone else in this break room! I let my guard down! I can't be so careless next time, or I'll die without even knowing why if an enemy ambushes me..."

Shen Wei warned himself inwardly as he turned around. When he saw the person, Shen Wei's expression changed slightly: "Your eyes, what happened to your eyes?"

The man in front of him was wearing a white turban and dressed like someone from that country on Blue Star famous for producing wealthy people. What was alarming was that his face was pale, and his eyes were wrapped in bloodstained white bandages, as if they had suffered extremely serious injuries.

"You didn't run into that eerie little boy, did you?"

Hearing Shen Wei's surprised tone, the man in the white turban asked tentatively.

"I did, the kid's not bad! He even reminded me that a terrible thing was chasing me. If it weren't for his warning, I would have been caught by that monster!"

Shen Wei said with lingering fear.

At this time, the man wearing the white turban with bloodstained bandages over his eyes had a rather complicated expression.

"Did we meet the same eerie little boy? Why did he dig out my eyes without a word? But you're perfectly fine, and he even reminded you that a ghostly monster was approaching! You're a tourist disguised as a ghost, aren't you?"

After saying that, he fumbled around on the nearby battery, grabbed his flashlight, and shone the bright light in Shen Wei's general direction.

"What are you doing? Ow, you're blinding me..."

Shen Wei dodged the white-turbaned man's bright flashlight, speechless.

"Don't try to fool me, get out of here, you terrible devil..."

The guy shook the flashlight while cursing at Shen Wei.

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Wei released the Book of Wisdom from his Ghost Ring.

Shen Wei pointed at the white-turbaned man waving the flashlight, and the cunning Book of Wisdom immediately understood. It quietly flew behind the man, and with its brick-like body, slammed him hard on the back of the head, knocking him senseless.

"This guy's mental fortitude is a little weak. He doesn't seem like a veteran who's been through several Rule Anomaly missions. He looks like a newbie..."

Shen Wei thought to himself.

"Hey, brat, how did you trick that little devil earlier?"

Shen Wei's Evil God Right Hand finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked casually.

"Heh, I'm not going to tell you. I'm just having fun."

Evil God Right Hand had often bullied Shen Wei, so Shen Wei decided to tease him.

"You said it, brat! Don't come begging me for help later..."

Seeing that his Evil God Right Hand was about to give up, Shen Wei didn't dare to tease him anymore: "I'm just kidding, why are you so humorless? Actually, it's just a little trick. See the Ghost Ring on my hand? After the little devil finished saying and guessing the result, I put two of the marbles into the Ghost Ring. In fact, the little devil might have noticed the trick, but he didn't do anything to me, so I have a guess..."

"What guess? Tell me quickly, stop beating around the bush, I hate people who beat around the bush..."

Evil God Right Hand was an impatient guy, and he kept urging Shen Wei. Shen Wei smiled helplessly:

"As long as you play games with this little devil, whether you cheat or lose, you won't be punished or attacked. The little devil is just lonely and loves to play. But if you don't play marbles with him, or if you run away, or if you attack him, then he'll go berserk and dig out that person's eyes. But he doesn't kill people, so he should be considered a kind and lawful ghost here..."
