Chapter 107: The Blood Plasma Wasn't Spread Evenly

Qi Yu and Ling Wu ran out of "Ragnarok," and a strange wooden door appeared in front of them. The two pushed it open and walked inside, where hanging corpses suddenly descended from overhead, and many green-faced, fanged monsters emerged from the ground.

Soon after, at a corner, they encountered a terrifying NPC who suddenly lunged out; there were large patches of red blood splattered on their clothes, their face was riddled with holes, their pupils were a strange red, and their expression was exaggerated and ferocious...

The NPC was brandishing sharp fingernails and reaching out to grab them, accompanied by the low, oppressive horror music in the surroundings, which raised the thrill effect to a new height.

Screams from men and women rang out all around:

"—Ahhh!"

"There's a corpse!"

"Over there, over there, a person will suddenly crawl up out of the crystal coffin over there, it scared my soul right out of me..."

"Hahaha... I felt my life was going too smoothly, so I could come to a haunted house... Hahaha, I've gone crazy."

At this moment, the NPC's long, scarlet fingernails were about to touch Ling Wu, but the two remained expressionless, and the NPC was inwardly bewildered.

Why aren't they screaming yet?

Were they scared silly?

Or was their performance not scary enough?

Ling Wu moved their lips, and the horror NPC couldn't help but feel relieved; were they finally going to scream?

Subsequently, the horror NPC saw the pretty-looking youth in front of them pat their shoulder, their tone sounding a bit helpless: "Your blood plasma isn't spread evenly."

"What?! Not spread evenly..."

The horror NPC widened their eyes, hurriedly turned their back, wiped frantically with their hands, took out a mirror from their pocket, and upon seeing their own ghost face at close range, shivered in fright, nearly fainting on the spot.

Qi Yu pushed past a few monsters and left this horror room with Ling Wu. The scenery of the AR virtual world changed; beneath their feet was a cliff, in front of them was a vast, boundless sea, and the sound of a hurricane could be heard in their ears.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the sea level began to heave violently, and a behemoth poked its head out from under the water.

Someone nearby exclaimed: "What is this again?!"

Ling Wu said in Qi Yu's ear: "Jormungandr, the second son of Loki and Angrboda."

Jormungandr's figure was incomparably massive; its head was wide and flat, and scarlet light flickered in its vertical pupils, eerie and sinister. Its entire body was covered in hard, thick scales, all shimmering with a cold, cyan-gray luster, exuding a bloody, icy, and brutal aura that made one's hair stand on end.

"Mm." The indoor air conditioning temperature was a bit low. Qi Yu looked at the sea serpent simulated by AR technology, lifted Ling Wu's coat that was resting on their elbow, and asked them: "Ling Wu, are you cold?"

Ling Wu felt that Qi Yu was paying a bit too much attention to them, and said: "I am not cold right now."

Qi Yu: "In the myths, did Jormungandr die in the end?"

"Mm." Ling Wu looked up to meet Jormungandr's gaze, the stray hair on their forehead gently stirred by the wind: "When Jormungandr was still a young serpent, it was thrown into the endless ocean by Odin."

"As 'Ragnarok' arrived, Jormungandr emerged from the deep sea and crossed paths with Thor. Thor used Mjolnir to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Jormungandr, and in the end, Thor successfully killed Jormungandr."

"However, the deadly venom Jormungandr spat out before dying also splashed onto Thor, and after walking nine steps, he died from the poison."

Qi Yu understood: "Are we looking for Mjolnir this time?"

"We don't have to look for it." Ling Wu's voice was cold and clear. Their thin, slender figure appeared small against this boundless sea, yet impossible to ignore. They glanced at the tourists behind them, turned around calmly, and walked toward the exit, the hem of their white shirt lifting in a subtle arc: "There will always be people behind us willing to 'die' for us."

"Isn't that right?"

Screams rang out from behind.

The two left the area standing tall and graceful, and the virtual AR world changed along with them; the seawater receded, and flat ground appeared before them.

Qi Yu had completed several tasks at the horror NPC's location, and the two did not see Hela, leaving the haunted house directly through a special exit.

The owner of the haunted house was at the entrance, and seeing them come out, asked politely: "You're out already? How was the experience at our haunted house?"

Ling Wu smiled: "The experience was very good."

"Your theme selection was also very good."

The haunted house owner laughed heartily: "Of course! That's my business acumen for you!"

Their gaze lingered on Qi Yu and Ling Wu, and they kindly reminded them: "There's a fireworks show at the amusement park at 8 PM, and the Ferris wheel will be open then. VIPs can ride for free without waiting in line. I see your school uniforms are from Sike Academy next door, right?"

"That academy is quite something, all high-ranking officials and nobles; you surely aren't short on money, so you can go experience it while you're at it."

Qi Yu nodded politely: "Okay, thank you, boss."

The haunted house owner waved their hand generously: "No need to thank me, my son is the same age as you."

Qi Yu and Ling Wu put their AR glasses into the prop box and walked out of the haunted house. It was long past the time when the sun was at its most scorching; the glow of twilight spilled down, and the entire amusement park was bathed in crimson radiance, exceptionally dreamy and warm, like a scene from an anime.

Qi Yu silently hugged Ling Wu's coat a little tighter, and said with a hint of hope: "Just now... the Ferris wheel the haunted house owner mentioned, shall we go try it?"

Their earlobes were a bit red, and they didn't dare look at Ling Wu's profile, hurriedly adding: "Of course, provided you have time tonight."

Ling Wu checked their phone, and a few seconds later looked up: "I have time tonight, we can go."

"Good."

With a few hours left until the fireworks show, Qi Yu and Ling Wu prepared to go to the amusement park's restaurant to eat. While passing under the Ferris wheel, a young foreign man walked over holding a phone, wearing an apologetic smile, and speaking in somewhat broken Empire language: "So sorry to bother you, my girlfriend is over by the Ferris wheel, could you please help us take a photo together?"

"It will only take a minute."

Qi Yu said: "Okay."

Seeing them agree, the young foreign man clearly breathed a sigh of relief, handed the phone to Qi Yu, then quickly ran under the beautiful Ferris wheel, made an OK gesture toward them, and then proceeded to embrace and kiss his girlfriend as if no one else were around.

【Foreigners are really open!】

【Finally got to see a kiss scene from a manga.】

The hand Qi Yu used to hold the phone trembled slightly, their cheeks feeling a bit hot. They pressed the shutter button, and Ling Wu beside them silently stepped back behind Qi Yu, looking in another direction with an expressionless face, though their ears had climbed with a crimson flush.
