6 min read1,392 words

The burning heat in Chen Lu’s left eye slowly subsided, and even though the cabinet was pitch black, he still knew that Junxiong was right in front of him.

He still couldn’t believe that in the end, it was actually Junxiong who had saved him.

“Why did you save me…?”

Chen Lu could only see the white shadow in the darkness pause slightly, and then said: “Ah~ Because you found me in the hide-and-seek game.”

So that’s how it was…

“Thank you.”

Chen Lu saw a fury white hand reach out to him, he spread his palm and then said.

“Sugar.”

Chen Lu looked at his palm stunned before reacting by pulling out a large handful of sugar and shoving it into Jun Xiong’s hand.

Jun Xiong only picked out one candy, and then sprinkled the rest of the candy on Chen Lu.

“I’ll just take one.”

The paper clothes were pulled apart, and he made a 'sassy” sound. Chen Lu stayed on the spot rigidly, not knowing whether he should go out or not.

“Wait here until you can get out.”

After Jun Xiong said this, there was no more sound, and after a long pause, he added another sentence.

“Once you get out, escape, run as far away as you can, and don’t come near this mansion again.”

Chen Lu was stunned and laughed bitterly.

“I can’t escape, I must die if I escape.”

What Chen Lu said was the threat of the blind box, but it was heard by Jun Xiong in a different way.

“Indeed, there is no solution to our curse. It will be useless whether you escape to the end of the world.”

But Jun Xiong had no sad feelings at all, instead he took on an unrelated sentence.

“Actually how far is the end of the world? The farthest place I have been to is the elementary school one kilometre away. The place I most look forward to is the next door store. The place I stay the longest is the cabinet at home, and the place I want to go most is Tokyo’s amusement park.”

“I don’t know the meaning of living like this.”

The place was speechless for a while.

There were many factors to the speechlessness, such as Jun Xiong was finding the atmosphere too heavy and not wanting to talk anymore, such as Chen Lu not knowing what to say for fear of being even more awkward afterwards.

Chen Lu really wasn’t comforting material.

There was actually no need to say anything about such things, and irresponsibly suggesting a different position was inherently vilification.

“Let’s go.”

Jun Xiong left behind two words, and then Chen Lu felt empty in front of him, and the child who was emitting cold air was gone.

At the same time, there was an unlocking sound from outside, and the door was opened…

……..

……..

Inside the hospital.

Chen Lu was lying on the hospital bed, he had just been questioned by the police, the police had only briefly cross-examined the information about the death of Grandmother Tokunaga and left the ward, leaving only Chen Lu again.

Chen Lu enjoyed a moment of peace and quiet, he just quietly looked at the ceiling for a full five minutes.

In his head, he replayed everything he had experienced at the haunted house like a movie, a scene that made Chen Lu suspect that he was dreaming.

He took out his phone and the first thing he turned on was the front-facing camera, the screen reflected Chen Lu’s handsome face and his bland left eye.

This left eye seemed plain and ordinary now, but it had burst forth with great power at a critical moment and saved Chen Lu.

However, Chen Lu was not grateful to this eye, but rather was intensely jealous of it.

He could feel the desire of this eye.

Every time he used his left eye, he could clearly feel the ghost eye trying to awaken and take control of Chen Lu’s body.

It wasn’t satisfied with the left eye’s position, what he wanted to occupy…. It was the person Chen Lu.

If he relied on this eye, Chen Lu would sooner or later become a puppet of the left eye.

With a complete lack of understanding of the Ghost Eye, it should never be relied upon easily and would ultimately have to be relied upon.

He then opened the sign-in applet, which already had a new message on it.

[New check-in location sent]

[New check-in location – Hitomi’s bedroom]

[Please note that this check-in comes with a check-in mission, and you need to complete the check-in mission at the specified location to be considered as having completed the check-in.]

Hitomi?

Chen Lu’s eyes narrowed, has he reached the stage of benevolence?

And the check-in mission is also new content, so he was sure it can only add fuel to the fire….

Surprisingly, there was no thought of giving up in Chen Lu’s head, and under the pressure of death, he did a little better than he had expected.

“It’s still daylight, it should be too late…”

Chen Lu estimated the time slightly, and did not rush to the ward in a hurry. He wanted to use the remaining time to complete his scum plan!

Chen Lu didn’t believe in evil anymore, his earthy love words were useless against an innocent girl like Rika!

In fact, although Chen Lu had a handsome face, he had never been in love once.

As for why he hadn’t fallen in love…. That was a long story, there was no time to reminisce about the past now.

He knew the number of Rika’s ward through the conversation with the police, and immediately ran towards Rika’s ward, reaching it in a few steps, then pushed the door and walked in, just in time to see Rika, who had just woken up.

“Rika? Are you feeling better?”

“Chen Lu-san…” Rika’s pale face looked at Chen Lu, surprisingly it was still a bit like a gamecock.

“Don’t get up Rika, just lie down and rest first.”

Chen Lu stopped Rika from trying to get up, and then sat on the small chair next door.

“Chen Lu-san, what happened? I remember I broke the key… and then I fainted?”

Rika had apparently forgotten everything, and only remembered the last thought in her mind before she woke up.

Chen Lu didn’t know how to explain it to Rika, so he couldn’t say that she had strangled Grandma Tokunaga alive after her transformation.

“I don’t know.”

“The most important thing for you right now is to rest well. Don’t think about this nonsense.”

Chen Lu’s perfunctory remarks obviously have no effect at all, and Rika was still immersed in her own thoughts and cannot extricate herself.

“Chen Lu-san, did you see an eye? Eyes filled with tears of blood.”

“I think I saw those eyes before I fainted.”

Rika’s eyes grew confused and she recalled those eyes again, she had always thought it was her fault, how could there be such a terrible pair of eyes in the world? But if it’s an illusion, why is it so real?

“Chan Lu Sang…. Did you see that? It’s just…. Just in!”

“Rika!”

Chen Lu violently shook Rika’s bed, Rika’s thoughts were suddenly disturbed and she looked at Chen Lu in panic.

Chen Lu was relieved to see that Rika had finally returned to normal.

He had just heard Rika’s description and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he found that Rika’s eyes were actually shifting towards the direction of the gamecock, and Chen Lu immediately reacted, interrupting Rika’s memories and her transformation.

Chen Lu licked his lips, his voice somewhat hoarse.

“Rika, what you need most right now is rest, not imagination.”

“By the way, do you remember when you left a copy of something at the haunted house?”

Chen Lu suddenly possessed himself and stared at Rika.

“What…. What is it? My bag?” Rika still didn’t understand, and she looked at Chen Lu with slight confusion.

Chen Lu shook his head and put his hand into his chest.

“Watch this.”

Chen Lu stretched out his hand, and the thumb and index finger showed a love shape.

“It’s my heart!”

Chen Lu smiled slightly.
