Chapter 32: Blood Moon Werewolf Killing (10)

Was this a coincidence?

While Chu Huai was absent-minded, the weight in his arms suddenly disappeared.

The boy had vanished into thin air.

Chu Huai was shocked.

During the blood moon period, the moonlight was dim. He calmly squatted down in front of the woman’s body, blocking Song Chen’s inquisitive and suspicious sight.

Chu Huai examined carefully but didn’t find any wound on the woman’s body. She had just…died in silence.

He sighed inwardly, and just as he was about to get up, Chu Huai caught a glimpse of the woman’s withered and sallow hand under the sleeve. His eyes darkened immediately.

The woman’s hand was clenched into a fist, her index finger pointed out, making a ‘1’ gesture. She was pointing at…Song Chen.

Chu Huai pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. His expression was dark and gloomy, his eyelashes casting a calm shadow on his face.

From the beginning to the end of the sacrifice, nobody else had appeared from Song Chen’s direction. Jin Tianyi always stood on the other side, that was to say…the woman was really pointing at Song Chen.

Did she discover something before she died?

Song Chen was the ghost that was hiding among them?

Chu Huai pulled the woman’s sleeve, covering her hand closely. He stood up and rubbed his brows. Would things turn out to be this simple?

He looked at Song Chen and squinted his eyes slightly. In his field of vision, it was just an empty street with a clear view behind Song Chen.

Now there was a question.

The mission goal was to identify the ghosts that were hidden among you, and again, how to recognize this ‘ghost’?

Was it the participants who pretended to be a ghost, or was the participant possessed by a ghost, just like how they were in the ghost marriage world, or did the ghost possess something else?

How many ghosts were there in this instance?

Until now, he had only encountered the real ghost twice.

The first time was when Li Xingran died. The ghost had called Li Xingran in order to trick her into leaving the house, and then led the participant from the ghost camp to kill her.

The second time was Zhang Quanfang’s sacrifice. The ghost was forced to appear to collect its offering, but it still used a special method to blind people’s eyes. Thus, no one could see the ghost’s true appearance.

Assuming that Song Chen had been possessed by the ghost, then what was the ghost’s restriction from killing?

Li Xingran was killed by Zheng Yao, he also saw it with his own eyes. In that process, the ghost only played a role in misleading people…

Why didn’t the ghost do it personally?

Or was it indeed the ghost that killed people but none of them were aware of it because they were all separated from each other?

Which camp did the ghost belong to?

Or the ghost didn’t participate in this killing game at all?

What was the ghost’s ability?

Jin Tianyi looked at Chu Huai when he noticed a slight change on the other party’s face.

Chu Huai glanced at Song Chen. Jin Tianyi followed his line of sight and, without nobody else noticing, he nodded.

Chu Huai’s heart relaxed a little. That was how he communicated with Jin Tianyi. By just looking at each other’s eyes, they could understand each other’s thoughts immediately, and they interacted in an extremely silent way.

“What happened just now…” Song Chen frowned.

At that time, she had been keenly aware of Chu Jiao’s strangeness. Hence, she’d stared at the other person attentively, but she was caught off guard when a sudden red mist appeared in front of her eyes.

The blood-red mist had a scorching temperature, and during that period, she even thought that her eyes were going to burn.

When the blood-red mist faded, the woman was already dead.

She must have missed something important.

However, she still saw the disappearance of the boy in Chu Jiao’s hands with her own eyes…

What did Chu Jiao discover?

Did they know the way to survive?!

Song Chen’s eyes sank slightly.

The words that Chu Jiao made the woman say were too odd. And Song Chen couldn’t help but doubt Chu Jiao’s identity.

The white moonlight suddenly poured over where they stood.

The moonlight was bright and clear, but there was blood in a corner.

Lou Ming had used a knife to dismember the short man into pieces before. At this moment, large and small clots were still spread out on the ground like pork.

Under the moonlight, the dark blood was like a splashed ink, and it was as if it had been painted into a tree trunk that was burned black without branches. It unexpectedly appeared to be both wicked and bewitching.

Chu Huai felt inexplicably tired. Jin Tianyi stood in front of him, smiling while smoothing his furrowed brows.

Chu Huai didn’t know how much Song Chen had guessed. Nevertheless, he also doubted Song Chen’s identity.

Now it was the white moon period, so the participants from the ghost camp would no longer act rashly to kill others, which was a good thing.

Before Chu Huai had time to catch his breath, the blood-red words appeared out of sudden in all the participants’ minds—

[God’s care·Sacrifice unlocked.]

[Congratulations, this is God’s blessing for you!]

[Sacrifice: I identify myself twice, and I will be obliterated by a ghost. However, I can send one person away.]

Under the sleeves, Chu Huai’s hands tightened into fists.

Song Chen’s eyes sank.

Just now, the woman identified herself twice, then she died in an unaccountable way. But, the child disappeared…

Connected with the blood-red words earlier…Chu Jiao was a God!

Song Chen’s pupils contracted sharply and her expression changed.

“Blessing? Bullsh*t.” Chu Huai sneered, this was the first time that he swore.

The game had been played for two rounds already. The world probably realized that as long as time passed, the participants would be able to discover the way to survive, so the world took this last chance to let out another wave of death.

Obviously, there was a correct way to survive, but the world deliberately led them to sacrifice. This was truly vicious.

Jin Tianyi pulled Chu Huai and said, “Let’s go, I will use the locking ability to find Lou Ming.”

Lou Ming had gone to lure those ghosts away, but they didn’t know where that guy went now.

They weren’t much worried about Lou Ming’s safety. That guy might not be able to fight one against three, but it would be no problem for him to slip away from that group of ghosts.

Song Chen naturally followed. “My ability is also locking…Maybe I can help find him.”

Jin Tianyi’s expression turned a little cold.

Song Chen smiled bitterly; Jin Tianyi’s attitude had already been expected by her. After all, she was the one who’d identified him.

She turned her head and said to Chu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, since when did you have such a good relationship with Lou Ming?”

Chu Huai smiled and said meaningfully, “He is a companion.”

Song Chen was a bit sensitive when she heard the word ‘companion’.

There was a strong sarcasm in Chu Jiao’s words.

Indeed, Lou Ming, who was hostile towards the people from their apartment, could get along with Jin Tianyi and the others regardless of their past grudges. Yet, as Jin Tianyi’s and Chu Huai’s companion, she actually identified Jin Tianyi, which was extremely unreasonable.

Song Chen explained stiffly, “Brother Jin, I’m sorry. When I first entered the instance, I thought a ghost pretended to be you, so I identified you. I didn’t expect that the ghost could confuse people. It was my carelessness. Fortunately, it didn’t cause any serious consequences, or else I would feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Noticing that nobody was paying any attention to her, Song Chen forced a smile. “But Brother Jin also got a blessing in disguise, you found Jiaojiao with your locking ability.”

Chu Huai raised an eyebrow.

Listening to Song Chen’s explanation, Jin Tianyi would be able to find him because of her? This reason was really impeccable.

Song Chen: “I saw many people chasing you before, and I was afraid that something might happen to you so I pretended to chase after you with them to see if I could rendezvous with you and deal with them together.”

Song Chen was still whitewashing herself. Her beautiful and charming face was truly fit with her pleasant voice, and her current appearance appeared to be puzzling. Seeing this, Chu Huai’s heart was getting colder and colder.

He tilted his head and looked at Jin Tianyi, inquiring about the situation during that time with his eyes.

As if knowing what Chu Huai was asking, Jin Tianyi shook his head slightly, his deep eyes filled with disappointment. Song Chen had really let him down.

In the blood moon period just now, Chu Huai couldn’t see the situation clearly but Jin Tianyi could.

If they’d showed up a little later, the woman and her son would definitely have died.

Song Chen was lying. Perhaps, she could use this trick to fool others, and get away unpunished. But the two people in front of her were not stupid.

Were people who had betrayed them once still worthy of their trust?

Chu Huai rubbed his eyebrows.

In any case, they were all from the same apartment. Besides, Song Chen had also given him warmth, the feeling that he had barely sensed for so many years.

A few hours ago, Song Chen was still the good sister who teased him and called him ‘Little Sister Jiao’. She was an educated person, with a good temper, and simply left a good impression on other people.

But now.

Why did she suddenly come back to them?

Was it just to seek Jin Tianyi’s protection?

Why did Zhang Quanfang point at her before she died? What did she discover?

Moreover, Song Chen should have known that he was a god.

The kind of weird scene where a real, living person suddenly vanished into thin air, coupled with the things that the hateful blood-red words mentioned; as long as they were not a retard, they would be able to guess it.

Chu Huai lowered his eyes, suppressing his complicated expression. When he raised his eyes again, that pair of eyes were pure and bright.

“Sister Chenchen, you are right. I’m indeed a god.” Chu Huai laughed. His frank words made Song Chen’s expression change.

Chu Huai’s mind was very clear. “You are not a ghost. You are a human.”

“I’m unable to explain everything clearly for now. I can only say that you aren’t a ghost. This is just a game. We were deceived by this world.”

Song Chen was shocked. Her face was filled with disbelief, the complex emotions in her eyes abruptly swarming up.

Her original plan was shaken for a while.

No, Chu Jiao must be lying to her!

Song Chen became alert.

Chu Jiao had a glib tongue. She had learned it before, Chu Jiao could reverse black and white, and let those foolish ghost companions kill each other. Right now, this woman must be fooling her as well.

Why did she believe Chu Jiao?

Chu Jiao was a God. And as a ghost, Jin Tianyi had partnered up with that woman because he was blinded by love.

Chu Jiao must die.

A cold light flashed in Song Chen’s drooping eyes.

Judging from the current situation, Chu Jiao was not only a god, but she might be the only God.

Even if she was not the only God, it was obviously easier to kill a God than to kill the commoners.

God must be fewer than commoners.

Now it was mostly possible that as long as Chu Jiao was killed, the God camp would lose. When the ghost camp won, she could leave the instance directly…

She could return to her long-lost home.

Her mother was initially a well-known pianist. However, because of her illness, her mother completely abandoned her career and devoted herself to taking care of her all day long, just like a nanny.

As long as she closed her eyes, stretched out her hand forward, and pushed open the door of her house in her memory, Song Chen could smell the tangy fragrance of food and the calming scent of burning lotus flowers.

Because her mother didn’t want her to see the withered and decaying flowers that could make Song Chen think of herself, there were always beautiful flower arrangements decorating the window sills.

She wanted to go back.

She hadn’t been home for half a year.

As long as Chu Jiao was killed, she would be able to go back.

To her, Chu Jiao was just a stranger that she had known for three or four days. It was not worth her pity if she…died.

She didn’t want to kill people, but if Chu Jiao became an obstacle between her and her home, she would…without any hesitation take out her Mu Cang. At that time, the outcome would depend on her.

It had been very difficult for her to get to this day, she had barely escaped with her life again and again. How could she fail at this moment?

Song Chen clenched her teeth, and her lips tightened.

It was late at night, the temperature in the city gradually dropping. Jin Tianyi zipped up Chu Huai’s jacket.

“Aren’t you cold?” Chu Huai turned around and asked while walking forward with Jin Tianyi to find Lou Ming.

Only now did Chu Huai realize that Jin Tianyi had taken off his own clothes to cover him before. This man only wore a short sleeve, it was neat and tidy. In addition, Jin Tianyi seemed to be a bit fierce in his natural and unrestrained manner.

“No.” Jin Tianyi shook his head and laughed, “If you don’t believe me, you can touch me.”

Chu Huai: “…”

Chu Huai glanced back faintly, meeting Jin Tianyi’s eyes.

Jin Tianyi smiled at him.

In the night breeze, the faint sound of someone pulling a trigger came from behind them.

Sister Chenchen, Chu Huai muttered silently, his eyes overflowing with pity.
