Shocking! Horror Game sees its first ghost streamer!!!

This headline shot to the top of Blue Star's Weibo trending list, sparking even more heated discussions. Everyone was curious what chain reactions might follow the emergence of the first ghost stream.

"I think now that there's one ghost streamer, more are bound to appear."

"Seriously though, why do ghosts need to do missions? Aren't they supposed to kill players?"

"No clue. Maybe even ghosts face internal competition? If they don't do well, they have to do missions like Players."

Inside the Livestream Room, after Lin Yu opened the Operating Room door, he saw a woman standing before him in a Nurse uniform, coldly staring at him.

Her face was deathly pale, like she was suffering from severe malnutrition.

"So there are other players in this newbie Dungeon?"

Lin Yu thought to himself, then politely smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Lin Yu."

"This guy is definitely a ghost. Why else would he be smiling at a Pupilless Ghost?"

"Lin Yu's smile is scarier than the Pupilless Ghost's face!"

"If he's not a ghost, I'll do a headstand and eat three tons of trash."

"Do you think something might happen between these two ghosts?"

"Dude, your taste is messed up."

In Lin Yu's eyes, the woman in front of him was just another Player in a Nurse uniform.

But to everyone in the Livestream Room, she was clearly a Pupilless Ghost—an infamous nightmare for newbie players.

After all, quite a few players had wet themselves after opening the Operating Room door only to be greeted by a "White-robed Female Ghost" with no eyes.

However, this Pupilless Ghost was more of a jump scare than a true threat. If a player failed to find the key after staying in the Operating Room too long, the ghost would show up to give them a fright, then walk away.

The Pupilless Ghost stared at Lin Yu for a moment, a trace of confusion on her eyeless face, but she didn't do anything. Instead, she turned around and walked away.

"Guess I've been ignored."

Seeing her walk off without responding, Lin Yu muttered to himself but decided to follow her.

Since she walked off directly, she must've already found the map. Otherwise, she'd still be exploring the other rooms.

So if she was heading straight down the hallway, she was probably going to leave the hospital.

No need to waste time—just follow her.

And so, Lin Yu, holding the scalpel, trailed behind the "female Player."

"666! Lin Yu really is a ghost—he's following the Pupilless Ghost! Any normal player would've bolted by now."

"First time in my life I've seen someone tail a White-robed Female Ghost. Lin Yu's a legend!"

"This Livestream Room is way more fun than the others!"

"Ew, this guy is disgusting. Even as a ghost he's stalking a White-robed Female Ghost. Gross."

"Can you stop trolling? Go back to Weibo if you want to act like that."

Watching Lin Yu follow step by step behind the Pupilless Ghost, the vibe in the Livestream Room grew more playful than scary.

Some even joked about whether the two ghosts would have a "little ghost" together—igniting a wild round of discussion.

As Lin Yu walked through the hospital, he was puzzled.

Shouldn't a Horror Game setting be pitch black, filled with creepy sounds popping up now and then to scare the player?

Why did this place feel like it was bright as day? The lights above didn't even have bulbs.

"Only explanation is—I'm the chosen one with built-in cheats."

After filling in the blanks himself, Lin Yu came to a conclusion. Just then, he noticed the "female Player" ahead had turned a corner and walked into a room.

He quickly followed, stopping just outside the room and noticing the door wasn't closed.

"Guess she's just not good at conversation."

Seeing the door left ajar, Lin Yu thought as he looked up at the sign on the wall: Duty Room. Then he walked in.

Inside, the "female Player" was sitting at a desk, still coldly staring at him.

"I get it. I'll search the room, and we split the loot fifty-fifty."

Seeing her gaze, Lin Yu figured out his role.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Since he didn't have the map and was planning to mooch off hers, he had to contribute something.

Her staring at him was basically her way of telling him to search.

Without another word, Lin Yu headed to the Duty Room cabinets and began opening them one by one.

[Dagger (Common Quality)]

[Attack Power: 5]

[Can be taken out of Dungeon: Yes]

[Note: A very common dagger. Can offer some self-defense.]

In the last cabinet, Lin Yu found a dagger.

But instead of keeping it, he placed it in front of the "female Player."

"This dagger is my payment for using your map. Please accept it."

Then, he continued searching. The Duty Room wasn't big, and after about ten minutes, he had searched it thoroughly.

Besides the dagger, he also found a white candle.

[White Candle (Common Quality)]

[Attack Power: 0]

[Can be taken out of Dungeon: Yes]

[Note: Requires a lighter to use.]

Since he'd already gifted the dagger, Lin Yu kept the candle in his own storage space.

The Pupilless Ghost looked at her "companion" in surprise.

Shouldn't he be looking for Players to hunt down? Why was he following her around, offering a dagger as map payment?

"Could it be… this companion doesn't know where the map is stored? So he's asking me, planning to go hunt Players there?"

"And the dagger is a weapon for me—to attack Players when I encounter them?"

Thinking this through, the Pupilless Ghost's expression softened. She slowly spoke,

"The map is stored in the Principal's Office on the next floor."

Then she picked up the dagger, indicating she had accepted it.

Inside the Livestream Room-

"Did I hear that right? The nightmare of all newbies—the Pupilless Ghost—just told Lin Yu where the map is?"

"Lin Yu, are you still pretending you're not a ghost?"

"Too bad newbie Dungeons are single-player only. I really wonder how other players would react if they saw Lin Yu."

"I bet a bag of spicy sticks they'd be scared to death."

"I'll bet two!"

"So she doesn't want to team up, just told me the map's location instead."

Lin Yu was surprised by the woman's words but said nothing. He turned and walked out of the Duty Room.
