CH 99.2

[Dear passenger, welcome to the first stop.]

The exact same voice as the one on the bus sounded in Zhou Yu’s ear. Startled, he looked back at the bus behind him.

Through the window, he could see those muddle-headed passengers still fighting with each other. Nothing unusual.

Then, is this voice only audible to people who choose to get off the bus?

Wow, amazing!

Full of novelty, Zhou Yu asked, “Hello? Can you hear me?”

[Of course, dear passenger. Hello, is there anything I can help you with?]

The originally icy and emotionless voice turned to be very gentle as if it had the sweetest honey in the world and wanted to share it with the listeners when Zhou Yu asked like a curious child.

Zhou Yu felt his ears were a little itchy when he was listening to this enchanting voice. Somehow, it was pleasant to hear.

If the clown brothers can speak, surely his voice will sound like this too!

Thinking like this, Zhou Yu became more fond of this originally unfamiliar voice.

“So, what can you help me with?” Zhou Yu asked as he walked to the dilapidated apartment behind the stop sign.

[Everything you want, I will help you.]

The enchanting and melodious voice exuded a manly aura, elegant and refined. It was a unique charm. If a teenage girl heard it, she definitely would be captivated.

Unfortunately, the only person who heard this voice was Zhou Yu —— a non-mainstream teenager who claimed to be a steel-like straight male.

Zhou Yu did not have any particular reaction, he just nodded with satisfaction.

Very good. It seems this is like a guiding NPC.

As a non-mainstream youth who liked to play games, he expressed that he knew what to do.

Zhou Yu blinked and looked at the dark apartment in front of him. He asked again, “Can you give me a flashlight? It’s too dark, I can’t see.”

[Of course, it’s in your bag.]

After hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately looked down at his bag.

After he opened it, in addition to the two beautiful roses, he found that there was a small black flashlight.

“Wow!”

Like a child who got a toy for the first time, Zhou Yu turned and tossed the flashlight playfully. He looked very excited and happy.

“Great! Thank you, Buddy! How did you do this magic? Can a normal person do it? Hehe, I want to teach my friend. He really likes ‘changing things’ magic. Ah, right! He looks similar to your avatar!”

[…He looks like a clown?]

After the pause, there were strange feelings mixed inside the icy voice.

After playing enough, Zhou Yu turned on the flashlight and walked into the three-story apartment building.

But he did not forget to answer the question, “Yeah, he looks good! I think my brother is so cool! You too!”

At the same time, behind Zhou Yu, on the bus hidden in the darkness, countless weak and miserable souls were screaming and mourning for their non-existent lives.

After a while, the rotten-faced woman in white appeared again in front of the bus door.

Except for this time, the horrible screams increased and the blood dyed half of the bus red.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu was still talking to the unknown voice that came out of nowhere.

“So, what do you think, Buddy? I promise that he is really good at magic. He won’t disappoint you.”

Although Zhou Yu knew there was a high probability that this was not a magic trick, he still hoped it was.

If he could learn at least one of these tricks, he would have more topics to talk about with the clown.

Zhou Yu did not know why, but he felt that the clown he just met once was very distressing and made him (ZY) wanted to be closer to him (the clown) —— it could be said that Zhou Yu was deeply worried about the clown, but could not do anything for him at the same time.

Rubbing the non-existent goosebump on his arms, Zhou Yu took back those cringy words.

What I’m deeply worried about! These must be socialist brotherly feelings!

This must be the “feel like old friends at the first meeting”, just like the one in the film!

Recalling the recently popular “Young and Dangerous” film series[1], Zhou Yu deeply agreed with his own thoughts.

Looking at the huge hallway on the first floor, Zhou Yu frowned. Then, he beamingly said, “Yes, can you tell me about any good sightseeing spots in this building?”

[Okay, dear passenger.]

[This old rental house has three floors. The first floor is the reception area, which has five rooms with ten clues scattered.]

[However, before searching for clues, you can use the living facilities in the reception area, such as home theatre, billiards, and many more.]

Zhou Yu’s eyes brightened and excitedly said, “Can I watch movies in the home theatre?”

Looking at the energetic appearance of the youth, the inorganic voice sounded more cheerful.

[Of course, it is guaranteed to be the latest release.]

After listening to this, Zhou Yu froze a moment. As if he was afraid of being heard by others, he asked quietly, “Umm… that, are you guys engaged in selling and buying pirated movies?”

The author has something to say: 

Recently, many people said that I’m shoddy.

To be honest, I’m quite afraid to hear this. Sometimes the plot that I’m satisfied with is very shoddy in the readers’ eyes. It’s my fault, but I don’t plan to change it. Once I change it, it will be completely messed up. So, I can’t do anything about it. If you’re disappointed with it, you can either scold me or abandon this story. See you in the next story, if you miss it, you can leave it here.
