Chapter 1

“Run!”

Cheng Qichen dashed out from behind the door and grabbed my hand, pulling me along as we sprinted away.

At last, we lost the Nutcracker and the Wooden Soldier at a corner.

Cheng Qichen peeked outside, and only after confirming there was no danger did he let go of my hand. “Are you hurt?”

I knelt on the ground, panting heavily, and after a long moment managed to say, “No. If you’d been one second later, I’d have been cracked into a walnut kernel.”

The door of a nearby Cookie House opened, and Gu Diewu waved us over. “Come in!”

We scrambled inside, collapsing onto the floor.

The three of us exchanged glances and gave bitter smiles.

My name is Yu Xiaoxiao, an ordinary office worker.

I died in a car accident, and was bound to the Underworld’s Return to Life System. To be reborn, I must collect the five Organs-heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney-in game instances.

The two people with me are the ones I met in my previous instance, Ghost King’s Wedding.

I cleared that instance, obtained the Spleen, and was granted a month of rest in the human world.

Maybe it’s because of the system, but the news of my death never leaked out. Even when I went to work on Monday, my colleagues had no idea I had died and come back to life.

But things never go perfectly.

Twenty days ago, Gu Diewu came to find me and invited me to join their organization, Phosphophyllite.

Going solo is tough for a newbie like me, and in the last instance, if it hadn’t been for Cheng Qichen, I’d have been over.

I gladly joined Phosphophyllite and got to know many companions.

Everyone quickly adapted to working together, so we could help each other and clear instances smoothly.

The Boss of Phosphophyllite is Cheng Qichen, real name Ye Tiancheng, who has already obtained four Organs.

Gu Diewu, real name Bai Cancan, has two Organs.

And I, the rookie, have only cleared one instance.

With my abilities, I shouldn’t have met someone of Ye Tiancheng’s level.

But for some reason, as soon as I entered the instance, I saw him and Bai Cancan.

To hide our real identities, we always disguise ourselves before entering.

However, so that teammates in the same instance can recognize each other, we let them know our outfits in advance.

This instance has fifteen players in total, and because Ye Tiancheng and another top player joined, the difficulty shot up to level four.

When the players found out, their faces fell. Two newbies who were here for the first time broke down on the spot. One young man thought we were scammers and stormed out angrily.

Soon, we heard screams. By the time we rushed out, he was already dead, wrapped in a thick layer of honey.

Thousands of bees covered his body, forming a massive hive.

The girl who came in with him fainted from fright right then and there.
