Chapter 312: Friends

When she saw that she was surrounded, Teacher Liu was scared. She felt like everyone was working against her.

“Who are you?” Teacher Liu gasped for air as she tried to scurry away.

“I’m with the police from Da Zai Electrical Supply Police Station,” the man said, taking out his ID. He was not that old. His picture looked more handsome than his person.

“Fan Li?” Teacher Liu read the name on the ID and slowly calmed down. “Did you come here after receiving my call? This is not right! My call didn’t go through! Who are you?”

“Calm down.” Fan Li couldn’t handle the screaming Teacher Liu. He told the others to back away slightly so as not to pressure Teacher Liu, “We can surmise that you’ve encountered something scary based on your attitude and status. We’re here to handle those situations. You can call us horror game players.”

Teacher Liu was confused. The man before her should be beyond the age of make-believe. The name horror game players were too juvenile. “Is that something like extreme sports lovers?”

“How do I explain it? We have once experienced an anomaly like you did. The difference is we did not gain help from others and managed to survive through luck. Therefore, we decided to band together to help more people.” Fan Li was young, but probably because he was in the force, he gave off a reliable feeling.

Seeing the suspicion on Teacher Liu’s face, Fan Li started to introduce the people around him.

“This fashionable sister with curly hair was a nanny at a rich man’s home in the east city. You can call her Sister Zhang. Back then, the little ghosts her employer nurtured in the basement of the villa came out, and only Sister Zhang survived.”

The rotund Sister Zhang smiled. She was very approachable.

“Don’t underestimate Sister Zhang. To survive the night, Sister Zhang treated all the little ghosts as her children and spent a whole night and day with them.” Once Fan Li said that, Teacher Liu’s thoughts of approaching Sister Zhang disappeared.

“This couple are students at Han Hai University. They’ve been together since high school. They are very good at their studies.” Fan Li knew everyone in his team well.

“Lee Caicheng, do you want to die?” Sister Susu instantly grabbed Brother Lee by his neck.

“Let me down! Or I’ll sue you for domestic violence!” Lee Caicheng groaned in pain.

“Go ahead! We’re divorced already!” Ou Yang Susu said, but her hand eased open.

“Xiao Fan, don’t just stand there! Arrest her!”

Fan Li ignored the couple and introduced the last person, “This man’s name is Gao Ming. We met him before we entered the anomaly. His family owns a kindergarten. He helps out normally. He’s very good with kids.”

“Hello.” Gao Ming greeted Teacher Liu shyly, “I was also very scared when I was in my first anomaly. Even though I still feel nervous, it’s much better now.”

“Everyone here knows what you’ve been through,” Fan Li concluded, “Horror game players like us should band together to save more people.” Fan Li was someone who could be fired for doing this. However, he possessed something special that made others want to stay close to him. It was justice. In a certain future, the normal Fan Li did something he could never imagine.

Teacher Liu looked at Sister Susu and Brother Li. She finally believed them. Ghosts wouldn’t argue like a couple. “One of my students is trapped inside her home by her parents. It’s that building! Her parents kept standing facing away from me. Once you see their faces, your face will disappear like it has been stolen!”

“A faceless monster?” Fan Li took out his notebook. “There are similar anomalies around Li San Hospital. Many residential areas are in lockdown because of this. It’s apparently related to a faceless mud figurine. This should be our mission venue.” After he confirmed that, he turned to the apartment building. “Maintain the team position. We’ll go take a look.”

“Should we wait for the other players?” Bai Shu opened his phone. “Dead Water Forum released 17 new missions yesterday night. They cover the entire old city area. I feel like things are changing at Han Hai. We should be more careful.”

“A child’s life is at risk. I don’t want anything to happen to her.”
