Chapter 260 - Ghost Hunter Chen Yushu (Part One)
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Lin Yi remembered his time in the primitive forests- every step was taken with extreme caution as poisonous bugs and large beasts surrounded him. That was scary, not childâs play like this haunted house attraction.
Would any survivor of said forest be afraid of ghosts?
âOohhâ¦â A granny with bleeding eyes drifted past Mengyao, who jumped in shock as she held on to Yushuâs hand tightly, full of regret. She wouldnât have come if sheâd known how scary this would be!
âHehe, Yao Yao, this is all fake!â Yushu reached out at the granny, and her hand passed straight through. âSee? Itâs fake! Itâs just a 3D projection!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âOhâ¦â¦â Mengyao only started calming down after Yushuâs demonstration.
They were only at the beginning- the deeper they went the scarier it got. Other than the things flying at them out of nowhere were zombies that popped out of caskets. Mengyao did not have it easy the whole journey.
âBlerghhhâ¦..â A rotting corpse sat up all of a sudden and sprayed black blood in Mengyaoâs directionâ¦..
âAhh!!â Mengyao cried out as she jumped back, bumping into Lin Yi. âYou... Whatâre you doing behind me!â
âYou told me to stand behind you...â Lin Yi shrugged. âThat was just a light mist, itâs not real.â
âOhâ¦â¦â Mengyao was a little embarrassed- sheâd asked Lin Yi to stand behind her in case something attacked them from the back, but she did realize that the black blood was yet another projection after what Lin Yi had said. Nothing was real.
She started getting braver after getting jumped on a couple times, but came to understand that everything was fake! They were only visuals, so what was there to be afraid of if she couldnât even touch them? Yushu was skipping around swiping at the projections, and Mengyao started to follow suit, kicking and punching along with her excitedly.
Mengyao felt someone pat her shoulder all of a sudden. âLin Yi, whatâre you patting me for? Come on, Iâm trying to have fun hereâ¦â¦â
Another pat and Mengyao turned around, a little upset. âLin Yi, you- Ahh!!!â
There was a faceless void touching her shoulder! The faceless creature wasnât scary, but its hand was touching her, it was a real hand touching her!
âYao Yao, whatâs wrong?â Yushu turned away from her ghost slapping- there was a faceless void patting Mengyao on the shoulder.
âHm?â Yushu found the scene odd- werenât all the stuff here supposed to be projected images? Why did that faceless void seem so real? She walked up to Mengyao quickly and grabbed at the faceless voidâs skin mask. âHm?? Itâs touchable? Did they add real props?â
âIâm faceless void⦠Iâm gonna eat youâ¦â¦â Ma growled lowly, troubled that Yushu was just grabbing his face like that. Yuchu Bro did instruct him to play along, so he made sure not to act rashly and just act the part.
Lin Yi only looked at Ma, evidently intrigued. From the shoes this faceless void was wearing it was clear that this was the guy that had been tailing them earlier. He had an idea what these people were trying to achieve here.
Were they trying to scare Chu Mengyao to death by putting on scary costumes..? What were they even thinking, didnât they know about Yushu jumping around all the time? Mengyao wasnât too brave, but with Yushu by her side getting scared to death was next to impossible.
Yet Lin Yi could tell that this Ma was only here to scare people as a monster. He was very weak, but Lin Yi maintained his alertness all the same, ready to react the instant Ma made a move.
He reckoned that they wouldnât go as far as to murder in a public setting⦠And if that really had been their intention, they couldâve done so in any other location instead of waiting for them to enter a haunted house.
âYao Yao, this faceless voidâs pretty realistic! Look at that piece of skin, you can even pull on itâ¦..â Yushu said as she stretched the skin with all her might, pulling it a few centimeters out.
Owâ¦. Ma almost teared up at the pain- why wasnât this girl scared of him at all? She was even pulling at his face, how brave was she?!
âIs that so?â Mengyao wasnât scared anymore, and reached out to pull at the other side of the face as well. With that, the two girls stretched the face from both directionsâ¦.
âI⦠Iâm faceless void⦠Iâm gonna eat youâ¦â¦â Maâs voice was starting to shakeâ¦â¦
âCanât you be a little creative with your lines?â Yushu said, speechless. âYao Yao, move aside! Iâll take care of him!â
âAlright!â Mengyao dodged to the side as Yushu shot her leg up at the faceless voidâs crotch.
And Maâs eyes rolled white as he fainted from the painâ¦
âHeh!â Yushu waved her fists in the air excitedly. âLook, Yao Yao! I killed a faceless void!â
âShu, you canât just break their model like that! What if it doesnât move anymore?â Mengyao, naturally, didnât think that it was a person- she thought that Yushu had broken it with her kick.
âUh⦠It should be okay right? Itâs your dadâs theme park, someone will fix it if itâs broken!â Yushu said after some thought.
âThatâs trueâ¦â Mengyao didnât really mind- it wasnât anything important, after all. As far as she was concerned, they could just throw it out if it was broken.
Some distance away, Maoshengâs face twitched while Yuchu sweated. Wasnât this girl too much..? She was pulling at Maâs face and even sent a kick up his tender partsâ¦â¦
âJin Bro, what do we do?â Yuchu asked.
âLooks like weâll have to get violent.â Maosheng said with a cold smile. âLetâs go!â
Yushu continued waving her fists about as she searched for the next target, but learned that only the faceless void was real, much to her disappointment. Everything else wasnât even touchableâ¦..
Lin Yi looked at Ma pitifully as he walked by. Yushu sure was violent- sheâd put down the guy before he even did anythingâ¦
All of a sudden came a zombie and vampire, surrounding Mengyao as the zombie closed in on her face. âChu Mengyao⦠Chu Mengyaoâ¦!!â
alright, end of the two one-chap days...
