Chapter 137
After thinking for a long while, the little girl rummaged through the coffin and pulled out a green bag.
“See if there’s anything edible in here!”
Qin Kaixuan’s gaze shifted to the bag. Printed on it were the words: State Grid.
Staring at the bag in front of him, the fool froze completely.
Holy crap, what is this?
Wasn’t this supposed to be an ancient village?
What was with this bag?
With trembling, excited hands, Qin Kaixuan opened it.
A bottle of Nongfu Spring mineral water, a pack of Oreo cookies, and there was even an Apple phone!
At the sight of those things, Qin Kaixuan had no attention to spare for anything else. He immediately took out the phone and pressed the power button.
Luckily, the thing still had battery!
Only, Qin Kaixuan, lost in his excitement, did not notice the shocked look in the little girl’s eyes beside him.
“The password is 123456!”
Old Qin heard the voice by his ear and quickly entered the password.
“Tha-holy crap!”
One man and one woman stared at each other.
In the end, it was the girl who spoke first. “When the variable changes, parity stays the same?”
“The sign depends on the quadrant!”
“The Heavenly King covers the earth tiger?”
“The pagoda suppresses the river demon!”
Zhang Bei was leaning back in his chair, digesting his meal, when he heard his phone vibrate and lowered his head to glance at it.
That one glance left him frozen on the spot.
Holy crap!
Someone had unlocked the Hidden Plot?
The Hidden Plot in Ghost Village Survival was extremely difficult to trigger.
To trigger it, three conditions had to be met.
First, the player had to have visited the ancestral hall. Second, they could not have left the village.
The third condition was even harsher: they had to use some kind of talent or performance to pique the little girl’s interest.
Only when all three conditions were fulfilled would the Hidden Plot activate.
If even one condition was not met, they would inevitably face the pursuit of over a hundred vengeful ghosts.
Curious, Zhang Bei made his way over to the Another Life venue.
Following the serial number, he soon spotted Qin Kaixuan.
Looking at that familiar face, Zhang Bei immediately began to doubt himself.
Did I design a loophole?
How did this fool clear the Hidden Plot?
Zhang Bei found a corner and silently opened the surveillance feed, pulling up Qin Kaixuan’s scenario.
The little girl stared fixedly at Qin Kaixuan. “How did you get here?”
Hearing the question, Qin Kaixuan gave a bitter laugh. “I don’t know either. I woke up and I was here.”
The little girl pondered for a moment. “Then do you know how to go back?”
“No!”
The little girl sighed. “Forget it. Stay here for now. Remember, don’t wander around.”
“Can I ask what kind of place this is?”
“The Yin-Yang Realm. It lies at the intersection of yin and yang. By day, it is the mortal world. By night, it is the underworld.”
“Then what about them?”
“Remnant souls. They have no intelligence.”
As they were talking, the sky suddenly seemed to split open.
A blood-red light shrouded the entire village.
“Well, well. Little sister is hiding a living person. If the King finds out, he won’t be happy!”
Seeing the blood-red light engulf the village, the little girl’s expression instantly darkened.
“Run. Run as far as you can!”
Qin Kaixuan did not stand there in a daze. His legs turned into electric fans as he sprinted madly into the distance.
A large amount of black qi emerged from the little girl’s body, and she threw a punch at the sky.
A blood-red shadow instantly appeared, and a piercing voice rang out.
“Go after him!”
As soon as the words fell, two shadows shot out of the blood-red light and chased after Qin Kaixuan.
Black and red intertwined. Qin Kaixuan ran all the way and soon reached the exit.
Only, his path forward was blocked halfway.
A woman appeared before him, but her entire body was charred black, and there was no way to make out her original appearance.
“Heh, heh, heh. Heh, heh, heh.”
Watching that pitch-black thing lunge at him, Qin Kaixuan felt his scalp go numb.
The worst part was that his legs had gone weak, and he couldn’t muster any strength at all.
Blessings never came in pairs, while misfortunes never came alone.
As fate would have it, the pursuers behind him caught up at that exact moment.
One was a drowned ghost, its entire body soaked deathly pale. The other had its belly split open, blood spilling with every step it took.
The brutal shock was too much for this idiot, who had come to experience the Amusement Park for the first time. He fainted on the spot.
Zhang Bei sat off to the side. Even through the screen, he felt a chill creep up his back.
Then he glanced at the idiot who had passed out, and his mood instantly improved.
That was more like it!
Did he really think triggering the Hidden Plot would be that easy to clear?
The half-hour experience ended quickly. Chen Chichi took off the headset with reddened eyes.
This place was inhuman. He had clearly come here to relax, so what the hell was this supposed to be?
The moment he thought of the old veteran who had saved him, his mood sank even further.
He was just about to check on Old Qin, whom he had brought along, when he turned his head and saw the man in a white coat loading that idiot onto a gurney.
???
No, seriously? A few bugs were enough to scare him unconscious?
Wait a second!
Don’t tell me this idiot chose the first two scenarios?
Looking at that pale-faced figure with his eyes tightly shut, Chen Chichi fell completely silent.
Forget it. After fainting twice, he would get used to it anyway.
Zhang Bei was planning to go check on the idiot who had passed out, but when he turned around, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
“What are you doing here?”
Heizi tossed a set of keys to Zhang Bei.
“The sales permit came through. The car’s in the parking lot.”
Zhang Bei put the keys away and watched Heizi’s hurried steps. “Not staying for a while?”
“The company is swamped. I have to hold down the fort.”
Zhang Bei scratched his head. Strictly speaking, he was the largest shareholder.
But when it came to business, he really couldn’t compare to Heizi, who had been exposed to it since childhood.
Watching Heizi hustle off, Zhang Bei silently wondered whether he should give him a little more work.
He was already this busy anyway. One or two more companies probably wouldn’t make much difference, right?
After Qin Kaixuan woke up, he dragged Chen Chichi out of the amusement park. Zhang Bei also received a notice from Professor Li to take over a new Laboratory.
He made his way to the parking lot, where the first thing he saw was a pale-blue sports car.
Its streamlined frame was fitted with a rear wing, and the entire body radiated power.
He pressed the key, and the doors instantly swung upward.
Zhang Bei smoothly settled into the driver’s seat. As the aerodynamic engine started up, the car slowly began to move.
The designer Heizi had found really was impressive. The driving experience along the way was nearly maxed out.
Following the address Professor Li had given him, he drove all the way to a commercial building.
The first people he saw were Guan Guo and Professor Li.
Professor Li carefully looked over Zhang Bei’s car. “The Laboratory is underground. We need you to complete the handover.”
Zhang Bei nodded and followed Professor Li into the elevator leading underground.
Fingerprint registration, document signing-the procedures took a full hour to complete.
Professor Li placed a file on the table.
“It’s several times bigger than that shabby place of yours. From now on, professional personnel will be handling security here.”
Zhang Bei nodded in great satisfaction.
Judging by construction cost alone, this entire Laboratory was at least ten times more expensive than his old one.
And if the top-tier instruments were included, its value was already impossible to estimate.
Guan Guo finished registering his fingerprint as well, then walked out together with Zhang Bei.
