Chapter 117 Where am I? (Ch 117)

After saying the name, Zhou Ke saw the female ghost opposite suddenly lift up her long hair that was covering her face.

Her face emerged from under her black hair that looked like seaweed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Everything in front of Zhou Ke’s eyes suddenly became extremely blurry.

Like the picture from a camera that is not held firmly, his vision blurred and shook rapidly.

The female ghost opened her mouth slightly and said slowly:

[Your life span——]

【Only seven days left.】

Zhou Ke lost consciousness instantly.

……

Content of the primary trial: [What is my name?], answer: [Sadako Yamamura].

The answer is correct.

Advanced Trial: [Where am I?] has been opened.

[This trial can be participated in repeatedly, and you will return to reality after death. ]

After feeling this information in his brain, Zhou Ke felt a sharp pain in his forehead and slowly opened his eyes.

“Wow! My boy, how could my son just disappear like this? Wow—”

A familiar voice.

Zhou Ke instantly came to his senses and suddenly woke up:

“Uncle Wang? Are you still alive?”

Zhou Ke’s vision became clear, and he found himself back in a small room, where a middle-aged old man was crying bitterly.

Isn’t this the security guard Uncle Wang?

“Puh, puh, puh! Unlucky!” Uncle Wang spat on the ground a few times:

“You have such a cruel heart. My son just died, and you curse me to death… wuwuwu…”

“Sorry, it’s my fault.” Zhou Ke apologized quickly.

He knew that the old man in front of him was of course just an NPC created by Sadako in the trial, but he didn’t expect that he had similar experiences to the old man in reality.

“Master, your son also died in this virtual copy?”

The old man was a little confused when asked:

“What are you talking about, young man? Are you stupid? Didn’t you tell me that my son died?”

“Ah?” Zhou Ke blinked: “What’s your son’s name?”

“Zhang Yang.” The old man said confidently.

“Uh.” Zhou Ke was slightly stunned and asked hesitantly:

“Are you sure your son’s name is Zhang Yang?”

“Yes! Aren’t you two good friends who have been playing together since childhood?” The NPC uncle’s CPU seemed to be overheating.

“Let me confirm again, your son’s name is Zhang Yang, and your last name is Wang?”

Zhou Ke blinked.

“Is there something wrong?” Uncle Wang looked innocent.

Zhou Ke laughed in silence, then shook his head:

“I don’t even know why I’m asking. You two are just NPCs pulled out of my mind.”

Zhou Ke has already sorted out what is happening at this moment.

This is the second [Advanced Trial], and the plot follows the [Primary Trial]. This is the story after Zhang Yang was killed by the videotape.

It turns out that “Ke Zhou” is Zhang Yang’s childhood friend. Because of Zhang Yang’s accidental death, he visited Zhang Yang’s father, Uncle Wang.

During the trial, Zhou Ke took over the original owner’s body, and the story begins from here.

“Alright guys! Let’s get down to business without further ado!”

The old man swept away his previous sadness, clenched his fists, and looked full of energy.

“Well, okay. What’s the matter?”

The old man waved his hand and said, “Of course I watched the videotape! Don’t be ridiculous, young man. Didn’t you say that the truth about my son’s death was hidden in the videotape?”

Zhou Ke reacted quickly and understood immediately after hearing what the old man said.

Haha, the original owner of this body, you are not a good person either.

Anyone who sees the video will die from the curse after seven days.

The way to crack the code is to share the videotape with other people.

The original “Zhou Ke” was tricked by his childhood friend into watching the video tape.

So, he wanted to share the videotape with the man’s father again.

Seeing Zhou Ke’s expression change in an instant, the old man frowned:

“What’s the matter, young man?”

Zhou Ke’s brain was working rapidly.

These are all fake.

The old man in front of me is just an NPC.

There was no harm in them both watching the tape again.

Moreover, the videotape is a key item in this trial, and it is very likely that it contains clues to “Where am I?”

“Okay~” Zhou Ke agreed immediately.

An old man and a young boy brought small stools and sat down, staring at the old TV screen intently as if they were watching a movie.

At this moment, Zhou Ke had already watched the video tape for the third time.

He knew that it was filled with a lot of meaningless content.

But Zhou Ke suddenly thought at this moment that perhaps those seemingly meaningless pictures contained some secrets of the trial.

The first shot is [Bloody Nails].

The second shot is [Flying moths].

The third shot is [the bright moon hanging high in the sky].

…and so on, very similar to the common elements of horror movies.

Until the last screen.

There was a white ring in the center of the screen, and then the ring slowly turned into a well…

“Stop!” Zhou Ke stood up swiftly and pressed the pause button.

“Master, the story that follows is very bizarre.”

“A long-haired female ghost crawled out of the well, crawled outside the TV, and scared Zhang Yang to death.” Zhou Ke described the facts to the old man.

The old man was stunned at first, then he nodded in sudden realization.

He actually accepted this ghost story very smoothly, and his face changed:

“So, it was really the ghost that killed my son?”

“You said that the ghost crawled out of the TV?”

“Yeah.” Zhou Ke nodded.

The old man suddenly jumped up, looking angry:

“No matter if he is a human or a ghost, I will avenge my son!”

He rushed towards the TV screen, waving his arms.

Bang!

The old man hit his head on the screen and bounced back.

He covered his head, howled, and fell to the ground.

Zhou Ke was a little surprised for a moment: “Uncle, what are you doing?”

“Hey boy, didn’t you say she crawled out of the TV? I thought I could crawl in too and kill the murderer who killed my son to avenge him!”

The old man grimaced, seeming to still be in pain.

Zhou Ke: “….”

Zhou Ke: “I find that you NPCs are all quite humorous.”

He shook his head, no longer paying attention to the old man’s amazing train of thought, slowly approached the TV screen, and said softly:

“Master, my goal is the same as yours, we both want to find [where she is].”

“Of course she is in the well, but where is the well?”

Zhou Ke shifted his gaze from the well in the center of the screen to look at the environment around the well.

Dense trees, low mountains in the distance, and a small black house looming on the mountains.

This scene seems somewhat familiar.

!

Zhou Ke’s expression quickly became extremely serious and he stood up immediately.

“Let’s go. I already know where she is.”

The old man sitting on the floor was still rubbing his forehead.

Hearing Zhou Ke’s words, he looked up blankly: “Where are you going?”

Zhou Ke put on his clothes:

“Go find Sadako and meet her in person.”
