Chapter 122: Killing Oneself by One's Own Hand

Not to mention that he was afraid, Rita and Lita, who were walking over, were also afraid.

Lita began to Channel in a flurry, while Rita turned and ran.

This place was not right; there must be some evil power eroding it. Could it be that they had stumbled upon a witch's sacrifice the moment they arrived?

That shouldn't be; the plant spirits here had not told her that there was anything strange about this place. Or perhaps they had been careless, and these plant spirits had long since been affected by the evil power.

"No, no soul!" Lita sat down on the ground with a slap. It was impossible; all things had spirits, yet the person who had just died had no soul.

Channelers existed as bridges between humans and souls. She wanted to figure out why that person had committed self-harm, but there wasn't even a soul.

There was no power in this world that could devour a soul!

Therefore, it was impossible for a situation to occur where a person died, yet there was not a single trace left for Channeling.

Otherwise, what would be the use of a Channeler?

However, in reality, there was simply nothing left. Rita pulled Lita's hand, and the two wanted to run away, but Lita's legs were shaking too much; she fell down again by accident just as she stood up.

"Who's there?" Agou was also a bit dumbfounded. It was one thing for his teammate to commit self-harm and log off, but how could there be other people around?

Fortunately, this was a game. After taking a few seconds to realize it was a game, he picked up the axe in his hand and asked while waving it, "Who's there? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you!"

"What did he say?" Lita asked in a low voice after climbing up, "Why can't I understand a word of it?"

"Probably a serf bought from another country." Rita hurriedly grabbed Lita, "Can you still walk? We must leave here quickly; this place is not right."

"I heard your voices!" Agou swallowed his saliva and walked toward the source of the sound. He felt that his own courage was exceptionally great; a person who usually screamed while playing horror games was now actually daring to hold an axe and look for people.

Seeing the blood-stained axe, Rita and Lita were terrified. The two ran blindly, heading straight for the flattest ground.

The players responsible for guarding the timber were catching fireflies. The two city kids hadn't seen fireflies for a long time, so they were indulging themselves in the game.

Thus, Rita and Lita saw two people dressed in simple clothes, dancing and waving their arms around a pile of wood.

Under the reflection of the torchlight, it was exceptionally terrifying.

"What should we do..." Tears streamed down Lita's face; it was her first time encountering such a bizarre incident.

This didn't look like something a witch could do at all. They would at least have a sacrificial target, but these people were completely like puppets controlled by something.

After dying, there wasn't even a spirit...

This was simply too terrifying!

The Death Sect would rather have their souls wander in the Bitter Sea after death than have no spirit at all. Hearing someone chasing from behind with an axe, Lita burst into tears.

"What the?"

"Is there a ghost?"

"Can there be ghosts in this game?"

"Nonsense, we were all summoned by that sanity-draining god; do you think there are ghosts?"

The two players who were still busy catching fireflies immediately huddled together. This game was good in every way, except that it was too much like the real world; both felt a chill down their backs.

"Did you see anyone?" Agou, carrying the axe, ran over, his voice trembling as he said, "Amao is dead!"

"Amao is dead?" Youjun felt an even colder sweat on his back, "I just heard a woman crying!"

"Exactly, could it be a ghost?"

Luoli V587 beside them gasped, and after reacting, said, "Even if it's a ghost, we can definitely defeat it. Anyway, I'll log off first to call for backup; there must be people who haven't used up their time yet."

"Wait a minute!" Just as Youjun finished shouting, Luoli V587 was already lying on the ground, breathing evenly.

"Sister, that person..." Lita wiped her tears and whispered, "That person seems to be dead."

"Don't make a sound. Let's wait for them to leave before we go. This place is too wicked." The two sisters hid behind piles of trees, carefully scouting the area. They didn't dare to walk around randomly now; who knew how many guards were still here?

Soon, Luoli V587 climbed up from the ground, giving the other two players a fright.

Youjun cursed, "Are you sick? You log off now, but everyone else is working. How many people can come online in the middle of the day?"

"What if there are?" Luoli V587 shivered, "It's better than just the three of us, right? Or, or should we all log off? Come back after the plot passes?"

"No, no." Not only Youjun, but even Agou shook his head, "This must be an important plot. Forget it, let's find the people first; at worst, it's just one life."

After saying that, Agou took his axe and began to scout along the surrounding wood.

Seeing Agou like this, Youjun also picked up a torch and began to check the surroundings.

"We won't set the wood on fire, will we?" Luoli V587 said worriedly, "It was hard to chop; if it catches fire, we'll be in trouble."

"Don't worry, it won't. We even dug firebreaks; it won't burn much even if it does." Youjun said, stopping his steps, "There seem to be traces here."

"You can tell that?" After the players put the wood down and stacked it together, they did nothing else besides digging firebreaks.

Because this batch of wood was the innermost and the earliest moved, as time passed, there were no fresh footprints nearby.

Plus, the shoes worn by the players were of a uniform style, so the sudden appearance of fresh and never-before-seen footprints must mean there were people here.

The two sisters, already hiding in the gaps between the trees, were terrified.

These two guys holding torches didn't look like normal people no matter how you looked at them.

Hopefully, they wouldn't discover them.

"Youjun..." Luoli V587 stared straight ahead and whispered, "I think I saw it."

"Saw what? What did you see?"

"I saw a ghost, run!" Luoli V587 couldn't take it anymore, immediately shook off her teammate, and started running back.

Youjun also ran back in fear, both of them screaming as they ran.

Chen Zhi, observing this scene, raised a dozen arms, attempting to cover his forehead, but unfortunately, he really couldn't find where his head was.

Those two women were hiding right in the gap!

Was there any need for you two to run!

After seeing the post Amao made after logging off, he had already switched to the player's perspective.

He just wanted to see how these players managed to kill themselves while sharpening a knife...

Who would have thought there would be an accident, and two strange-looking people had actually snuck in.
