Feng Bujue sighed in relief. He was thankful that he did not take out Mario's wrench. If Oink had taken that excellent quality weapon, he would have had no choice but to admit defeat.
Actually, it was not a loss to lose the kitchen knife there. Exchanging a piece of normal equipment that could be easily found in a large scenario for a unique item that could recover Life Points, it was a fair trade.
Feng Bujue went to grab a bowl and walked to the stove. He opened the lids of the two pots and looked inside. He even used the ladle to stir the soup. The contents of the two pots were actually the same. Pork and bones could be found in the soup, and on the counter next to them, there were leftover pig fat and skin. Seeing that, Feng Bujue sighed in relief. He could not help but wonder … if he was in Oink's shoes, would he have the courage to cook the carcass of his own kind? What kind of feelings would he have when he was doing it?
Oink walked over then. He seemed to have read Feng Bujue's thoughts. He scoffed and said in a casual tone, "The place where I was born is filled with lies and slavery. Thinking is not allowed. The priests teach us to know our place and accept everything that comes our way. I've dealt with many pigs in the slaughterhouse, and I've done the same thing every day. Cooking them is nothing. "
Feng Bujue did not know how to respond, so he merely nodded.
He quickly scooped up a bowl of soup, held it in his hands, and walked out of the kitchen. Before he left, he turned to tell Oink, "Thank you. Hmm … goodbye."
Oink did not reply. When Feng Bujue walked out of the kitchen, the light in the kitchen suddenly dimmed, and the large body of the pig-faced man disappeared into the darkness.
"Main Quest progress updated.
"Explore Ye Jie High School and solve seven supernatural phenomena. Current Progress: 67/7."
When Passing Rain heard the system announcement and saw Feng Bujue return, she sighed in relief. Those few minutes just now were more unbearable than the previous hour. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. If Feng Bujue left and did not return, she would blame herself. From her perspective, the main reason the scenario had reached this stage was because of her.
However, when Passing Rain saw what Feng Bujue was holding, her joy and relief instantly turned into shock and doubt. What is the meaning of this? Are you addicted to drinking? He had already finished two bowls. Was he going to take another bowl to go?
Feng Bujue brought the soup in front of her and placed it on the table. Then, he pointed at Passing Rain with his finger. Then, he raised his palm and made a gesture of holding a bowl. He gestured to his mouth, indicating that Passing Rain should drink the soup. Since the other party didn't know that the soup could restore health, Feng Bujue added a few more hand gestures to explain.
After Passing Rain understood what was going on, she drank the broth. Then she checked the game menu. Her Life Points had recovered from 21%. She gestured at Feng Bujue to show that she had recovered to full health.
Feng Bujue nodded. He had her hand the lantern back to him, and then he led the way.
When the two walked out of the cafeteria, the ghosts swarmed toward them from all directions. There were monsters with silky hair, slitted noses, scaly bodies, and translucent masks … this scene reminded Feng Bujue of Lonely Town under Sam Montier's control. Before clearing that scenario, he and his teammates had also been surrounded by a large group of monsters. However, there was still a difference. The monsters he encountered at that time were mostly related to the "demons" in western legends. But now, the monsters that were chasing after him and Passing Rain were basically "ghosts" with traditional eastern colors.
There was no time to stop. Feng Bujue held the lantern and led the way. He ran, and Passing Rain followed closely behind. Even though she didn't have Jazz Dancer, it was not that hard for her to keep up with Feng Bujue's speed.
Both of their Life Points were full. After an hour of rest, their Stamina Points were full as well. Feng Bujue and Passing Rain were confident that even the adversity of being chased by ghosts would not stop them from completing the last mission.
They ran, and the ghosts chased after them. After walking around the main building, the two returned to the open field.
In front of the school gate, under the moonlight, one could see from afar … a solitary figure standing there. No … a ghostly figure.
It was a little girl in a red dress. When she entered Feng Bujue and Passing Rain's sight, the song started again. This time, it was sung directly by the ghost.
Accompanied by her singing, the surrounding scenery began to change. The bright moon was covered by a layer of black curtain, faintly discernible. The school building, plants, sports field facilities, and so on behind the two of them all disappeared, turning into a scene of a mass grave.
When Feng Bujue and Passing Rain arrived before the girl, she was at the last line of the song. But this line was different from the one they had heard before. "Eerie and bloody … Ghosts chase after you, slow down, slow down … The road to hell is hard for people to walk." The hollow and sorrowful voice stopped there.
The little girl giggled. Her laughter made one's hair stand on end. She then opened her mouth and said, "Uncle, Auntie, come and accompany me, okay?" At this point, black blood flowed out of her seven orifices, and her body floated into the air.
"Current quest has changed. Main quest updated.
"Vanquish Feng Yizi's ghost.
"Conversation restrictions have been removed. The ghost chase will continue until the quest is completed or all players are dead."
After Feng Bujue could speak again, the first thing that popped out of his mouth was, "Who is your uncle?" He yelled, put away the lantern, and stepped on the ground. He moved like a rabbit, and like a tiger, he pulled out the wrench and swung it at the monster's face.
With a bang, he hit the target. A hole appeared on Keiyizi's face, and black blood gushed out. However, as the boss of this scenario, she naturally would not die so easily. From the fact that she was still floating in the air, this attack was not fatal.
Feng Bujue gripped the ghost's neck with one hand and used the wrench to hit her repeatedly. He did not care about the blood that splashed on his face, and when he hit her, he did not forget to add, "You should call me big brother!"
"Ha ha ha ha … Ha ha ha ha …" Keiyizi started to laugh madly. Even though the bones in her head were twisted, she did not mind it. Furthermore, the effect of Brain Concussion did not trigger once on her.
Instead, it was Feng Bujue's Life Points that were mysteriously decreasing. Black blood, laughter, or simple contact would cause him to lose Life Points? He could not tell for now, so he could only continue to hit her, hoping that his attacks would have some effect.
Passing Rain watched this from the side and thought it was funny. Actually, she wanted to mock the 'auntie', but seeing Feng Bujue's agitated and immoral reaction, she calmed down. She realized that she should not be in the same boat as her Brother Jue.
"Has your Sorcery Mastery been unlocked?" Passing Rain asked as she walked over with her sword. Her movements were neither fast nor slow. The horde of ghosts that came from the mass grave did not seem to pose any pressure on her. This was because her eyes had already locked onto the target that she needed to kill.
"Yes," Feng Bujue replied. "What's wrong?" One second after the question left his lips, he understood the answer and immediately said, "Oh … Only those with Sorcery Mastery can actively 'come into contact' with these ghosts, right?"
"Yes." Passing Rain returned to her usual concise style. After replying, she flashed to Keiyizi's side.
Her heart was as still as water, her eyes were cold, and her sword lashed out.
A cold light flashed, and before Feng Bujue could react, Keiyizi was cut in half at the waist. A shrill scream echoed through the night. The next second, black blood gushed out from the wound at the monster's waist. In that moment, it was like someone had cut open a juicy orange. Feng Bujue saw this and quickly jumped away. If he stood still, he would become a shower.
As the saying went, there was nothing to be afraid of. Feng Bujue's attack might have looked vicious, but it was like scratching an itch for the monster. If he was trapped on the thirteenth step earlier, he would have died even if he had three lives. But Passing Rain only needed one slash to solve the problem. This was a talent that she was born with. It was like the masters in wuxia novels who could see through their opponent's Achilles heel and win with one hit.
"Current quest completed. All main quests have been completed.
"You've completed the scenario. Automatic teleportation in 180 seconds."
"No way," Feng Bujue said. "She's that good?" Even though he knew Passing Rain was strong, this was the first time he had seen her kill a boss-level monster. He had seen her slay the chandelier at the House of Usher, but he was surprised that she could kill ghosts as well.
"No, you're the good one," Passing Rain said. "This time, it's all thanks to you."
When they spoke, Keiyizi landed on the ground and dissolved into a pool of black blood. The large group of ghosts disappeared with the illusion of the mass grave, and the scenery of the school reappeared.
The two stood at the gate, and the moonlight shone down on the ground. The sign of Ye Jie High School appeared before their eyes again. Everything seemed as if it was a dream. It was so illusory yet so real, and the strange and terrifying scenes from before were still vivid in his mind. The Soul in the Old Well, the Strange Arm, the Cradle of the Dead, the Blood Shadow, the Butcher of Heaven, and the Keiyizi earlier. In terms of terror level, Feng Bujue's experience in this scenario was more than enough to scare someone as cowardly as Xiao Tan off his game. The question was whether Xiao Tan would be able to see the change in his Terror Points this time.
"We'll talk more in my meeting room later," Passing Rain added. In other words, she wanted to finish the scenario first.
"Okay, I'll add you to our party after the teleportation," Feng Bujue replied.
After saying their goodbyes, they teleported away at almost the same time.
About one minute later, a large shadow with a pig's head appeared at the school gate. It pushed a trolley filled with cleaning utensils and stopped beside the pool of black blood.
It soaked the mop in the bucket and slowly started to mop the ground.
Upon closer inspection, the end of the mop did not appear to be wrapped in cloth but black hair.
