【Thud——

A piece of flesh fell from Guo An’s arm and a lot of blood gushed out of it. The pain was really unbearable.

“Aaah—— Lao Guo! Wuwu!” His wife, Yu Xiaoshan, tearfully looked at him full of distress.

Guo An broke into a cold sweat from the pain. Looking at the undead who kept chasing them, he gritted his teeth and said, “I’m fine! Quick! Run! Go to the bus!”

Ahead, the bright stop sign illuminated their way.

They managed to escape from the apartment building. However, they found that the closer they got to the stop sign, the weaker their bodies became. Their skin and flesh continued to fall off one by one.

Therefore, in order to preserve their body, everyone slowed down —— even if there were those ferocious undeads chasing behind them.

AAARRRGH——

A fashionable young woman, who was bitten from behind by an undead, let out a piercing scream.

Seeing such a tragic scene, the crowd was frightened and accelerated their steps.

But even so, people kept falling down along the way.

Soon, the bus was in sight.

Guo An sent his wife up first, but at that moment, an undead pounced on him.

“AAAAAHHHH!!! NOOO!”

His wife’s scream echoed in his ears. Guo An tried his best to block the undead’s sharp teeth.

Beside him, people kept getting into the bus, but no one dared to help him.

In the end, he used all his strength to grab the ankle of the last person who passed by and cut its skin with a knife.

Splat——

Blood splattered everywhere and it successfully drew the undead’s attention away.

Guo An successfully escaped and got on the bus.

After getting onto the bus, Guo An panted and glanced at the cannon-fodder outside —— it was Glasses, his pale face was distorted like a maniac.

Vroom——

The bus departed again for the next stop.】

—— From《Bus of Hell》

[…I will buy the copyright later.]

After a few seconds, the voice replied.

Zhou Yu sighed in relief.

“Alright! That’s also okay. My boss told me that piracy was shameful! Although I don’t like him because he fired me, what he said is true.”

Hearing Zhou Yu’s ramble, there was a little helplessness in the unknown voice, [So, do you still want to watch the movie?]

Zhou Yu looked at the dark and damp hall on the first floor and replied, “Okay, can you show me the way?”

AAAARRRGHHH——

Screams sounded from the upper floor.

Zhou Yu looked up at the ceiling covered with cobwebs.

The horrible shriek was really standard, heartrending and mellow at the same time —— although it sounded like a woman, judging from his experience working in a factory that was filled with men, the owner of that scream should be a man.

[…Please rest assured, that is just another guest experiencing other projects.] 

Before Zhou Yu asked more about it, the unknown voice answered his doubts.

After hearing that, Zhou Yu thoughtfully looked away and peered at the extremely dark corridor not far away.

He felt that the unknown voice was concealing something from him —— although he did not want to think badly of someone, it was necessary to guard against people, not to mention the unknown voice.

“……”

[……]

Seeing Zhou Yu became quiet, the voice seemed to be a little flustered and asked more gently, [Dear passenger, do you have any questions?]

The voice became more magnetic and charming, enough to enchant any creature who heard it —— unfortunately, Zhou Yu was not one of them.

Zhou Yu came back to his senses when he heard the voice. He asked with a complicated expression, “Can, can you change back? Your tone right now is kinda weird.”

The icy voice from before is better.

“This tone is kinda sissy.”[1]

Zhou Yu touched his chin and came to this brilliant conclusion.

[……]

For the first time, the clown, who was hiding in another dimension, learned what heartbreak felt like. He dumbfoundedly held his top hat.

What a fussy little friend.

[Okay, I will meet all your requirements.]

The clown lowered his voice and concealed his emotion. The voice became icy and inorganic again.

After Zhou Yu heard the icy voice again, he hummed absentmindedly and walked towards the darkness ahead.

Sometimes exploring the way yourself can make you feel at ease.

“By the way, you haven’t answered me if you’ll teach me magic. So, will you teach me?”

Through the barriers of dimension, the clown was watching every of the youth’s movements earnestly, but there was not much emotion in his voice, [Sorry, this is not magic——]

Zhou Yu had expected it but he still could not help showing his disappointment.

In this case, what should I say when he meets Brother Clown next time? What should I do if he thinks I’m boring?

Thinking of the naive and cute Brother Clown, Zhou Yu became even more worried. —— If I have no topic to talk about, Brother Clown definitely will dislike me.

Seeing Zhou Yu looked dejected, the clown tilted his head. There seemed to be a hint of hesitation on the pale mask.

It’s weird, he did not like to see this little friend show this kind of expression —— So, keep smiling, okay?

Just like me.

The clown’s slender fingers traced along the smile on his mask and said, [Perhaps, you can play the game and clear it —— the clearance reward will make you satisfied.]

This means that after the game is cleared, the unknown voice will teach me magic!

Zhou Yu stopped and blinked.

After understanding the meaning of the voice, a big smile appeared on his face, “Thank you! I’ll definitely get this reward. After all, I’m a gaming expert!”

He once played “Gomoku”[2] against all of the bad boys in an internet cafe and became the final winner!

The grey-haired youth paused for a moment before deciding not to mention it.

Although he was very proud of this, it seemed to be out of place to mention it here.

En… Besides, this is too childish, so I won’t bring it up —— in any case, he was really a gaming expert!

For Brother Clown’s sake, he made sure he would get this reward!

[Of course, you will definitely win the reward.]

Even though he knew that the youth could not see his affection, the clown, who wore a well-ironed suit and stood elegantly, still praised the youth.

Hearing the voice seriously compliment him, Zhou Yu blushed and his eyes wandered around.

Sometimes you did not feel ashamed when you boast about yourself, but when another person praised you with such confidence, you would become a little embarrassed.

“Cough, cough… Actually, I’m not that great —— Then, let’s get started, what’s the first level? Do I need to find the sinner in this place?”

After turning the topic back to the right path, Zhou Yu turned on his flashlight and pointed it at the doorless room.

The furniture was covered with white clothes. It was full of dust and cobwebs.

There was a human-shaped white cloth that stood quietly in the centre of the room. At first glance, it looked pretty scary.
