Chapter 145: A New Unresolved Case
Translator: MrJ_ Editor: Zayn_
Xiao Hui gave a deadly stare to Su Bai. Two rows of bloody tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes, making it very eerie and strange. This couldn’t be considered much for Su Bai. This image did not scare him and instead gave him a very amiable feeling.
It was like staring at himself.
The monk had mentioned before; whenever Su Bai met a zombie, the feeling was like meeting a relative.
Su Bai’s hand reached out and gently touched Xiao Hui’s forehead.
This type of caress did not bring much affection and was totally from the previous tease. His pupils were clear, not bearing any lust. No matter how psychotic Su Bai was, he would not really take liberties with a zombie.
The expression on Xiao Hui’s face at first revealed rage, then bewilderment and finally fear. It was obvious that she noticed something from Su Bai’s indifference. Su Bai no long purposely tried to hide the aura of his lineage. It was as if a layer of dark clouds had become heavier deep within Xiao Hui’s heart.
A feeling when facing an elder or a senior generation appeared within Xiao Hui’s thoughts. Gradually leaving her no way of resisting and even an urge to prostrate herself in worship.
Su Bai did not purposely do anything at that moment. He recalled the feeling when he controlled the ordinary zombies in his previous story world and the scene where the Zombie King had used his grandeur and lineage to oppress and force the other zombies to pledge allegiance.
The path of the zombie was not what Su Bai had chosen. Since he had walked this path, he need to learn and continue. What was worth celebrating was that his learning abilities in this were pretty good.
Xiao Hui’s zombie grade was definitely not higher than his. Su Bai is very clear about this point.
If there was a high level zombie hiding here in Shanghai, it could be said that Dreadful Radio Game would issue a reality task to a specified audience to wipe out that time bomb hiding in the crowd.
Just when Su Bai thought he could use a gentle approach to have Xiao Hui leave Chu Zhao, another face appeared on Xiao Hui’s forehead. A very small face of a woman.
That woman’s face was distorted and gave a feeling of déjà vu. She screamed nonstop.
“WHY HARM ME! BASED ON WHAT DO YOU HARM ME! WHY! BASED ON WHAT!”
The temperature of the washroom decreased rapidly following the shout of that woman. Xiao Hui, who wasn’t able to retaliate against Su Bai’s aura earlier, started to struggle.
“CRACK……”
Su Bai did not hesitate to pull out his gun and pointed it in between Xiao Hui’s brows.
The tip of the Hellfire Shotgun was touching Xiao Hui’s skin. The aura from the grim reaper could be felt from the nozzle of the gun.
The woman on the forehead immediately quietened down from her earlier hysterical behavior. She could feel that Su Bai had the ability to destroy her in an instant. No matter what life form, as long as they had self-awareness, they would definitely fear death and annihilation.
“Don’t compete with me. I’m too lazy to listen.”
Su Bai sounded very cold and indifferent. He really didn’t mind finishing off Xiao Hui in one shot even if the situation would be hard to clean up. Even though it wouldn’t be too good for Chu Zhao, even though it meant he had to deal with the aftermath.
With the appearance of the woman on Xiao Hui’s forehead, Su Bai was well aware that things were much more complicated than he thought. Towards complicated matters, the best method was to finish it off with one decisive blow.
Xiao Hui was not a pure zombie but rather a human who had merged with an evil spirit. Su Bai did not know how the evil spirit’s merger could be so harmonized. It was as if both parties accepted it naturally. The evil spirit did not take over but lived within Xiao Hui’s body and Xiao Hui did not repel the evil spirit. Both parties had a harmonious symbiosis.
Humans and spirits had different paths. Even though the heavenly laws in the real world were not as sensitive as in the story world, the basic boundaries were still existent.
A human and a ghost sticking together to form a symbiosis finally triggered many weird transformations. The most obvious would be that Xiao Hui was actually an ordinary human being, but after being invaded by the unending deathly aura of the evil spirit in her body, her body had admitted its own death, at the same time introducing a brand-new status, which was being a zombie.
Xiao Hui was now stuck between being a zombie and a live human which was considered a grey area. That’s why she could continue living like a normal human and joining all types of social activities. She, however, had now way of resisting the changes in her body. For example, her fingernails had revealed signs of her being a zombie. Even if Su Bai didn’t take action, she would eventually reveal her zombie status.
She could still fool Chu Zhao, saying her nails were painted with black nail polish, but slowly, her skin would turn ashen. If her lower body no longer got wet when having some hot action, then she couldn’t continue fooling anyone.
“I can leave him. I can leave her too. She is my niece, my niece. I do not want to treat her this way. Even though she is willing, I don’t feel too good about it. Really.”
The woman’s face continued wailing nonstop and Su Bai eyebrows furrowed deeper.
Su Bai wasn’t someone who was interested in other people’s stories because he was already a performer in Dreadful Radio Game. He never had any interest in these types of grieving and tragic stories.
‘Even if you were pitiful and tragic, what did it have to do with Chu Zhao?
‘You drag him along, being together with him; even if it isn’t intentional, you would continuously absorb his yang vitals from his body. Chu Zhao is currently young and his yang vitals are vigorous, but he currently is already quite dispirited. If Chu Zhao was fifty or sixty years old, by being in contact like this, he would have already fallen ill and even ill beyond cure.’
“Please help me, I beg of you, please help me. My niece entering the police academy and being a police officer was to help me. To help me.”
The woman’s face started to plead Su Bai.
Su Bai slowly closed his eyes, and his finger was slowly adding pressure to the trigger.
“RING…”
A ringing resounded. A weirdly designed ring fell off from Xiao Hui’s body and rolled over to Su Bai’s feet.
This was not a diamond ring, nor was it one of the gold plated ones. Apart from its weird looks, it was dusky colored and looked like a rough and slipshod piece of art. The ring actually emitted waves of gloomy and cold aura. Su Bai was most vivid about this aura.
He held the gun with one hand still pointing towards Xiao Hui’s head and picked up the ring with his other hand. The ring contained boundless resentment. This type of resentment was very pure and also very scary.
Was this considered the exchange condition?
Su Bai revealed a slight smile. He wasn’t someone who adhered to a treaty.
“I can see that you care a lot about your friend. Chu Zhao and Xiao Hui got together because the are fond of each other. It’s my fault. My existence and Xiao Hui’s tolerance created this mess. I want to be liberated but I can’t. I couldn’t find the deepest trammels of my soul, and I need to find it to resolve my obsessions. I would be willing even if I were to vanish.
Those two youngsters are really a matching pair. It was I who brought harm to my niece. I beg of you, please help me, please help me find that item. I would leave her body and return her to your friend once you’ve helped me find that item. She would also return to normal. I would take away all those things that do not belong to her body before I vanish; she would transform back to a normal human. It’s true, trust me alright.”
“Actually, it is a setback for a man to be heartbroken, but it also a type of growth. It would make him even more mature.”
Su Bai’s finger slowly pulled the trigger when saying this. At this moment, an eerie and solemn voice sounded in Su Bai’s head. Su Bai was familiar with that voice because it was the voice of the host of Deadly Radio Game:
“Find Wang Xue’s item of trammel and resolve her obsession. This is what you should do and what everyone wants too see.
In truth, there is not just one side to things in this world; it has many other sides.
In a typical case, it is hiding many similar incidences, but they are not so lucky and it’s hard to attract the attention of the others. But they are similarly interesting and do not allow us to… miss it.”
This is a reality task of Dreadful Radio Game.]
It came so suddenly that Su Bai was caught off guard and was stupefied. Dreadful Radio Game gave a notice of hiatus for three months and no audience would be sent into the story world within these three months. Looks like Dreadful Radio Game was not totally silent. The control and protection towards the real world was still existent. This reality mission was the best proof.
“Actually, it is a setback for a man to be heartbroken, but it also a type of growth. It would make him even more mature…” When Su Bai said this, he put down his gun. “But Chu Zhao is my brother, my friend whom I grew up together with. His girlfriend, the girl he is fond of, I would help her as far as my capabilities extend. Or you could say, help him.”
Xiao Hui’s eyes were filled with tears. That woman’s face was also weeping.
“Year 1994, Hushang University, hostel block C, 5th Floor, dorm number 103…”
After she finished speaking, the woman’s face entered a state of exhaustion and gradually entered into Xiao Hui’s body. Xiao Hui transformed back into the appearance of a normal human and dejectedly knelt in front of Su Bai.
