Top Horror Novelist

In a quiet environment, all sounds are exceptionally clear.

The music box tinkling like a stream of spring water, and even more like a female ghost crying, it gave people a shiver in the empty mansion.

The female student suddenly opened her eyes, turned over quickly and stood up while looking around vigilantly.

She was still in her “elder sister’s” boudoir, but something seemed to have changed in the darkness without her realization, and the sense of crisis of it brought goosebumps on her arms.

It was also at this time that she realized that she had just fallen on the carpet and passed out.

The pupils of the female student constricted, feeling that something was wrong.

How was it possible… This is ridiculous, she is definitely not someone who would waste time in instances, the drowsiness was too odd, and she remembered very clearly that she was about to go out at that time, otherwise she would not fall to the ground and fell asleep.

It was also at this time that the female student who woke up noticed the sound of music coming from outside the boudoir.

She raised her eyebrows and eyes, and immediately followed the sound and walked out quickly, but she didn’t notice the wooden box that appeared suddenly under her feet, so she tripped over it and the lid of the box was kicked away.

When she frowned and looked back, she was dazzled by a golden light.

It was a whole box of gold ingots.

In addition, there were several other boxes scattered around.

The female students who had made sufficient preparations before entering the instance knew that this was Ma Yuze’s “bride price.”

A few large boxes of gold can be exchanged for tens of millions in reality, and can be exchanged for tens of thousands of points in the temporary residence area, which is enough for a player to eat, drink and have fun without entering an instance for 20 years.

But the female student just glanced at it and turned her head indifferently. Gold was not as attractive to her as the music box.

Just before the door was pushed open, the female student turned around and looked indifferently at the quiet and dark boudoir.

“I sympathize with what happened to you, Ma Yuze. But I won’t help you, please understand.”

Her voice was calm and deep that didn’t match her immature appearance: “Your revenge is tantamount to destroying the instance which will lead to my death. You can call me selfish, but I won’t risk my life just because of my sympathy.”

The female student paused, and said coldly, “I’m sorry, then—please don’t hinder me.”

The door of the boudoir opened and closed, and the female student looked around vigilantly, but the boudoirs of other players were still quiet and dark. Only then did she feel relieved, and quickly left the yard, excitedly following the sound of the piano.

In the dark boudoir, the red and green paper dolls stood in the corners beside the bed, a stiff and creepy smiles on their faces.

“Huh!” Suddenly, on the main table in the hall, the dragon and phoenix wedding candles ignited suddenly, illuminating the whole room in bright red.

The red silk and satin fell out of thin air, and the Chinese character “囍” slowly emerged from the white wall. The oil painting that had been hung was silently corroded into a handful of powder, and fell with a rustle.

And on the main boudoir chair, a woman in wedding dress, covered with red veil, was sitting quietly.

In the boudoir without the female student, there was no sound of piano… Neither the female student nor the audience before her live broadcast knew what had changed after she left.

She skillfully walked through the mansion, avoiding all places where there might be faceless servants, and walked straight to the main house behind the banquet hall.

It was as if she was familiar with the topography of the mansion and had prepared everything in advance.

If Chi Yiyin saw this scene, he would be satisfied with his head-on guess.

——The female student was not a newcomer, but an old player pretending to be a newcomer. Like Li Li and others, they all came for the high reward of the last run of this instance.

In the female student’s live broadcast room, the audience clearly knew her identity.

[Having followed the anchor for so long, I laugh every time I see people think she is a newcomer.]

[I already knew the ending when she entered this instance, the winner must be her, don’t even think about it. Those few people can’t even tell the identity of their competitors, so what hope do they have?]

[Fuck, music box? In a recording with a high price in the black market, the music box was mentioned, which is the memoir of a big shot who died because of this instance.]

[It seems that the anchor came prepared, she even got such difficult information, tsk tsk tsk. There is no suspense about the ending.]

The female student quickly browsed through the barrage of data in the live broadcast room, and immediately closed it after seeing speeches that were not useful to her.

Then, she stopped vigilantly in front of the main house, listened to the music coming from behind the door, and was even breathing lightly.

As a veteran player in the game field, she has more information channels than ordinary players, and knew that this instance was far from being as simple as it appeared. In fact, the rewards that can be obtained by clearing the instance was enough to make the devil’s heart start beating.

Old players who have left traces can be traced back as early as 12 years ago, so the recognized length of existence of the game field is also 12 years.

Prior to this, the customs clearance reward given by [Dear Home] was the wealth of the Ma family as a gift after fulfilling Master Ma’s wish, including the rumored secret treasure of the old dynasty’s palace. And every failure will cause the current rewards to roll back and accumulate.

Over the years, the customs clearance rewards of the instance have been rolled to an unbelievable astronomical figure. If converted in real currency, the value can be as high as one trillion or even more. No matter who obtained it, they will instantly become a wealthy person.

But what attracted the female student to enter this E-level instance was because she got the news that as the last run of the instance, whoever cleared the level could take away the entire instance in addition to the wealthy reward. And as long as you find the core, you can glimpse a part of the truth about the game field.

That’s what she wanted.

——Obtain the truth of the game field, enter an A-level instance, trigger the S-level, and then leave the game field and return to reality.

 For this reason, she treated this instance with extreme caution. When she was preparing, she saw the notes of a deceased participant of the instance.

That player had a ranking in the Heavenly List. After failing to clear the instance, he decisively used props and returned to the temporary residence area. However, seven days later, he died miserably and hanged himself at home.

Before he died, he used blood as ink, and wrote on the wall: “The ferocious ghost demands their lives, for their crimes deserve more than death.”

He also mentioned the music box in his notes, saying, “As long as you hear the sound of music, remember to look for it. It will guide you to the truth.”

In the banquet hall, the female student tried to find things like music boxes or pianos, but returned in vain.

However, she did not expect that after she fell into a strange lethargy, she would find a clue instead.

This made the female students more cautious while overjoyed.

Truth usually comes with danger.

Holding her breath, she gently pushed open the door of the main house.

The faint light in the courtyard slowly spilled into the spacious living room. The music box was placed on the table facing the door. Inside the open music box, the delicate little figure in red was dancing on its own.

The female student looked happy and walked in quickly.

But she suddenly felt a pain in her foot, and when she lowered her head, she found that there were many children’s toys scattered on the wool carpet, and it was one of the building blocks that hurt her foot.

She frowned in disgust, and kicked all the building blocks and toys aside as if venting her anger.

A toy hit the wall, and with an immediate crack, the little wooden car broke.

At that moment, the music box stopped for a second, a faint wind blew in the air, and the wooden stairs made a harsh creaking sound.

But the joy of being so close to the truth had completely swallowed the female student, so she didn’t notice the small details nearby, and walked quickly towards the music box…

It was not only the female student, but also several other players who heard the music.

Everyone fell asleep in a strange drowsiness, and was awakened by the sound of the piano.

The unlucky middle-aged man who came in randomly shivered with fright, he turned and rushed to bed. He wrapped himself in a quilt and put down the bed curtains, as if he would be safe this way.

But what he didn’t see was that just behind the bed curtain, there were red and green paper dolls standing on the left and right.

They twisted their necks slowly, and looked at the self-deceiving middle-aged man behind the bed curtain with a stiff smile.

Meanwhile, Jing Cha was sitting the couch behind the window and was gazing lazily out of the paper window.

“Rabbit, rabbit, do you think he will come out?”

The teenager pulled the hanging rabbit ears of his hoodie, and the rabbit’s ears shook up and down, as if saying hello.

Then, he changed his voice, smiled and asked himself: “He definitely will. How can someone who even dared to pretend to be the pope be a good boy?”

“When he comes out, we will have the opportunity to play with him.”

His soft voice spoke in a meaningful tone.

Then, a black rabbit jumped to his hand, its nose twitching as if smelling something, and its red eyes became the only light source in the dark.

Jing Cha raised his hand and slowly touched the rabbit’s soft fur, then patted it gently: “Go.”

The black rabbit immediately squeezed out of the paper window and ran out. First, second… countless rabbits disappeared in the dark and rushed to the place where Chi Yiyin was and the whole mansion.

Suddenly, a red light came on in a boudoir.

Jing Cha squinted and saw the female student leaving the courtyard in a hurry.

He realized something and turned around thoughtfully to his boudoir.

“Do not leave the room casually… means that as long as you leave the boudoir, the real sister will come back?”

Jing Cha murmured in a low voice, then raised a smiling face and raised his hand to greet the darkness in the depths of the boudoir.

“Hello, big sis, Ma Yuze~”

Jing Cha supported himself to the couch with one hand, his smile appeared harmless to humans and animals. It also revealed two small tiger teeth.

“Perhaps you want my room? Yes, this is your boudoir, after all. I broke in without permission. Are you unhappy?”

Jing Cha tilted his head, and the black rabbit’s ears dropped.

His smile slowly deepened: “Otherwise, give me a reason to leave here, okay?”

Under his swaying thin legs, a pair of red dots gradually floated into the darkness.

At first glance, the darkness seemed empty, and no one knew when it was suddenly full of black rabbits.

They twitched their noses and sniffed the ground as if looking for something.

But the Jing Cha put out his hands and said casually to the darkness that still did not respond: “To be honest, I am not interested in fulfilling your father’s wish, nor in your tragic stories – although I’m sorry to say this, you are not the most miserable one. I have seen a miserable life far beyond yours, so you can’t expect me to be kind.”

“My target is the gentleman opposite.”

Speaking of Chi Yiyin, Jing Cha’s eyes lit up, and his breathing grew rapid: “Hey, big sis, you saw him, right? How wonderful he was! Daring to deceive everyone with a false identity and making everyone believe it!”

“That’s the one, that’s the opponent I want!”

Jing Cha shook his legs and jumped down from the couch. He walked to the main seat in the room with a smile, and then sat down.

“Since you won’t speak, let me give you a reason.”

Jing Cha smiled and said, “I will leave the room because I have killed you — how about this?”

As soon as the voice fell, he immediately stretched out his hand and waved it straight to the darkness. His thin palm grabbed at something.

He slowly looked up and saw that what he was holding was a green paper doll, with two powder blush on its pale face.

At the same time, several wooden boxes placed in the center of the room quickly began to rot and turned into a pool of sticky black water, like the sticky corpse water after the body had rot.

Jing Cha slowly turned his eyes.

A bright red figure was sitting on the other chair next to him. The bride’s hands were crossed in front of her abdomen, and she was silent.

On the small table between the two chairs, snacks such as melons and other fruits had been prepared, and the dragon and phoenix candles as well, but they were not yet lit.

Jing Cha was not surprised at the sudden appearance of the woman wedding dress. He just slowly released his hand and ignored the paper doll with a machete.

“Sorry, big sis~”

Jing Cha smiled sweetly: “I’m not here for you.”

“and…”

He tilted his head and whispered, “if it was me, I would only exact revenge by myself, and not expect anyone to help me. I have known from many years ago that no one would love me except myself. Whoever gives you pain, you give it back, and whoever wants to kill you, you kill them first — this is the way the world works.”

“It’s better to do it yourself than to expect others to realize your wishes.”

Jing Cha said, slowly stood up, put his hands in his pockets and prepared to leave.

“Oh, yes.”

He suddenly remembered something. He turned around and went back to the bride. He then took a bone-cutting machete from the pocket of his hoodie and bent down to put it into the bride’s hand.

“Here you are, big sis~ No need to pay it back.”

Jing Cha smiled sweetly, felt out the lollipop he puled out together with the machete, peeled off the wrapping paper and put it in his mouth.

Then he stepped off with his small leather boots, put his hands in the pocket in front of his hoodie, and walked slowly to the door.

Even when he left the courtyard, the red candle in the boudoir was never lit.

All the paper dolls and paper money in the room disappeared, even the woman in the wedding dress disappeared.

Only the female ghost in red with long black hair stood there, looking at the machete in her hand with complicated eyes.

A black rabbit jumped to the female ghost, twitched its nose, sniffed, and then jumped away.

The whole darkness was like the rabbit’s nest. Even if the original owner entered the nest by mistake, he would only be eaten up by the hungry rabbit as food.
