Chapter 74: CH 73

Chapter 73 – Three People Make a Tiger 9

Without any suspense at all, Xu RenDong was quickly killed by Freddy.

Back inside the elevator, he hadn’t yet recovered from the pain. It was only when Zhong Xiu said quietly, “I am his former teacher…” that Xu RenDong raised his head and saw a strange color flashing through Lian Qiao’s eyes. He suddenly realized what he was thinking about. Xu RenDong became instantly angry, slapped Lian Qiao’s arm and coldly said: “Don’t think weird thoughts, she is not my ex.”

Lian Qiao: “???” I haven’t said anything!

When they got to the living room of the villa, they saw the familiar scene again. The four members of the film club were huddled together and Rock Monk shook his head with the music inside his headphones, immersed in his own little world. The others sat or stood, all with different expressions.

After some self-introduction, everyone explored around separately and finally gathered in the sun room on the top floor. Outside the glass curtain wall was still bottomless darkness and the wild wind roared, making people feel cold. Fifteen chairs were arranged in a circle and a piece of paper was placed on one of the chairs.

Xu RenDong walked straight to the chair and picked up the note. The same content was on the note: Notes for the Courage Training Camp: 1. The theme of this issue: the deepest horror in the heart. 2. Activity content: Please turn off the lights at 00:00 every night, share a ghost story in the glass room and face the horror in your heart. Share at least one story every night. 3. Friendly reminder: The story cannot be repeated, someone will die. The story must not be not scary, someone will die. 4. Just kidding.

Xu RenDong repeatedly scanned the contents of the paper while summarizing the information he had so far.

Ghost stories must be told every night. This is a hard requirement. If you don’t do it, there will be an earthquake and it would directly be GAME OVER for all the members. The ghost story told will come true if it was scary. The ghost will come to kill people in reality according to the setting of the story. However if the story was not scary, then the narrator will become an ice sculpture and shatter on the spot.

In this way, either a new horror element was added every day or a person was killed on the spot. Regardless of whether the horror story was true or not, the difficulty of the instance increases exponentially. The most important thing is the start. Xu RenDong was very miserable in the last reincarnation because the idiot president chose a very difficult ‘hell level’ start. The setting of “Nightmare on Elm Street” was simply incomprehensible. Even if you escape via a puppet, you will still be killed by Freddy the second time you fall asleep.

When he thought of this, he felt so angry but had nowhere to express it.

After everyone circulated the note, the note spontaneously ignited once again, turned into ash and drifted away with the wind. The president immediately said: “Anyway, should I try it out first? If anything happens to me…”

Xu RenDong immediately kicked him and knocked him to the ground.

President: “???”

Everyone: “???” Why did you start with a fight?

Xu RenDong spoke calmly under the horrified and suspicious eyes of everyone. He spoke with a serious and earnest voice: “Don’t say such things, it’s unlucky. Don’t you know what ‘Three People Make a Tiger’ means? If you want to curse yourself, please close the door and say curse words only you can hear.”

Everyone opened their eyes wide in surprise and the president’s mouth was also wide open. He sat on the ground and forgot to stand up.

Lian Qiao feels that this scene is very familiar-oh, come to think of it, Boss RenDong in the Russian matryoshka instance also came up and kicked the rabbit over. At that time, the rabbit was sitting on the ground just like this, looking up at the big boss dazedly.

… The boss still has a violent temper.

But thinking about it, the boss made a lot of sense! ‘Three People Make a Tiger’, literally speaking, means that a lie that three people circulated will become true. Putting it in the world of ghosts, it is not impossible it will raise a FLAG that will be harvested within seconds.

It turns out that the boss was saving people!

Lian Qiao looked at Xu RenDong with a sense of pride in his eyes and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

Xu RenDong ignored the shocked gazes of everyone and calmly announced: “I’ll tell the first story. If you want to ask why, because I am a nine-level boss.”

Everyone was stunned by his domineering declaration and thought to themselves that it was really amazing that someone could survive the nine instances and so they didn’t dare to speak immediately.

Therefore, Xu RenDong successfully overthrew the boss from his position and became the first teller of ghost stories.

Xu RenDong had a general idea about how to start the game this time. The hour hand just moved towards twelve o’clock, all the lights went out instantly and the glass room plunged into absolute darkness again. The people present couldn’t help exclaiming, Xu RenDong took a deep breath and began to tell his story.

“A long, long time ago, there was a little boy who lost his mother. Like all fairy tales, his father soon married another woman and a stepmother entered the door. Not long after there was also a lovely sister named Marian…”

Xu RenDong chose the “Juniper Tree” story told by Rock Monk but he didn’t copy the original story exactly and slightly altered it instead.

In the darkness, the crowd sat in a circle. Xu RenDong slowly paced in a circle behind everyone. His voice was low and dull, coming and going, near and far, as unpredictable as the wind slapped on the window.

Everyone listened attentively to this ghostly tone,and felt that their backs were cold, as if something had creeped up on their backs.

“…The stepmother said, ‘The apple is in the box, go get it yourself’. The little boy poke his head into the box innocently after hearing what he said. At this moment, the stepmother suddenly closed the lid of the box with force—”

Xu RenDong happened to come to the glass door. He grabbed the door frame and slammed the door shut. Everyone was unprepared and was so frightened by the loud noise that some people even fell from their chairs with weak legs.

Xu RenDong listened with satisfaction to the rapid gasps of the crowd and continued to describe in a creepy voice: “The little boy’s neck was crushed by the box like this. Poor boy, his head grunted and rolled into the box. Blood sprayed out from the broken neck, soaking the whole head red, really looking like a red apple.”

Everyone: “…” I know it’s not real, but why are the sound effects so good!

The story went on. Xu RenDong walked farther and farther on the deliberately scary path, scratching the glass with his nails for a while, making a harsh noise, and then strangling someone’s neck with a sleeve, telling him that a gold necklace had fallen from the tree.

Finally, the story was about to enter the climax at the end.

“This vicious woman felt guilty about killing her stepson. She has been restless all day. After listening to her husband and daughter, she decided to meet this magical bird too…”

Xu RenDong’s voice became lower and lower and he drifted faintly behind the crowd. His fingers ran across the back of the crowd if nothing happened, evoking a wave of tremors. In this immersive 5D ghost movie, everyone was so scared that they did not dare to breathe loudly. They were all in a cold sweat, tremblingly and waiting for the end of the story.

Xu RenDong: “Then, a millstone fell from the sky–“

At this moment, all the lights suddenly turned on!

Xu RenDong was taken aback and the chair held high in his hand stopped abruptly in the air.

Why was it over? He also wanted to randomly pick a lucky spectator and kill him on the spot. Speaking of which, who knew who this lucky audience member would be…

Xu RenDong looked down and met the president’s horrified eyes.

The next second, the president paled and passed out with a “Ying!“.

Xu RenDong put down his chair silently, spreading his hands in a gesture of: “You all saw it, I didn’t do anything.”

Everyone: “…”

Xu RenDong regretted it in his heart. If he had known it was the president he was standing behind then who cared if the lights came on or not, if he slammed the chair down he could still pick up a doll for nothing. What a loss.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt so that when he returned to Lian Qiao, he was full of grievances.

Lian Qiao: “…” Why are you so irritable today, big boss?

The other three members of the film club hurriedly stepped forward to help the president up. The two women and one man called the president at the same time. The scene was very moving. The people present were a little bit unwilling to watch it and all averted their faces in embarrassment.

Rock Monk said: “That’s it?”

Xu RenDong said: “It should be. The mission is over, go back and rest.” After thinking about it, he added, “By the way, if you see a box, don’t just stretch your head inside.”

Lian Qiao suddenly stretched out his hand and said weakly, “…Is it that kind of box?”

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers and instantly all their faces changed.  They saw a dark wooden box suddenly appear in front of the empty glass door. The box looked similar to the treasure box in the game, about the size of a suitcase. Everyone looked at each other and they all had the same thought in their hearts: The ghost story has come true!

Xu RenDong was not surprised by this and, on the contrary, he was very happy. At this time, the explanation can be omitted and everyone should now have a deep understanding of what “Three People Make a Tiger’ actually means.

Everyone went over to the wooden box and suddenly heard a “creak”. The wooden box unexpectedly opened its lid. It was dark inside and you can’t see the inside from any angle. Someone took out the phone and turned it into a flashlight mode to shine into it, but the wooden box actually looked like a black hole, swallowing all the light and it still looked dark.

Lian Qiao was surprised: “Huh, a black body?”

Xu RenDong gave him a surprised look, and Lian Qiao explained: “This is a physics concept. It means that once light enters the black body, it will be refracted countless times and finally all the light will be trapped inside the black body and cannot be caught by the eyes of people outside. Therefore, from the outside, the inside of the black body is absolutely dark.”

Everyone was surprised and Zhong Xiu also said admiringly: “You are so knowledgeable.”

Xu RenDong has become accustomed to Lian Qiao’s knowledge reserve so he is very calm. Unexpectedly, Lian Qiao frowned and touched his chin and mused: “But the black body shouldn’t be this structure, it doesn’t conform to the laws of physics…”

Xu RenDong said with a laugh: “There are even ghosts here and you are still entangled with the laws of physics?”

Lian Qiao thought about it and laughed: “You’re right, I’m the one whose thinking too much.”

Suddenly someone reacted: “Fortunately, there were no ghosts in the story you just told! Otherwise…”

It suddenly dawned upon everyone and they became frightened and admiring of Xu RenDong’s intellect. Xu RenDong glanced at the president of the film club quietly. The poor child had just woken up and was being embraced left and right. When he was glared coldly by the boss, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.

…What the heck?

Xu RenDong recalled the courageous performance of the president in the last reincarnation and quickly understood: he was acting.

Sure enough, the president’s second fainting caused strong dissatisfaction among the three members of the film club. The gay member B walked over angrily and pointed his finger at Xu RenDong’s nose and cursed: “Why are you like this! Why are you targeting our president? Are you jealous of our president who is tall and handsome!”

…. This is really ‘mirages appear in the eyes of lovers’.

Xu RenDong glanced at the president on the ground, thinking that your president is not as good as Lian Qiao. He totally overlooked the fact that he himself has opened the 800x lover filter.

Member B pointed with his index and little fingers together and scolded for quite a while. Xu RenDong felt impatient and frowned. But just at that moment Lian Qiao picked up a chair, stared coldly at Member B and directly threatened: “Keep scolding and I’ll send you directly to heaven.”

Member B was schooled and his small face paled. He scrambled back to his friends and the other two girls stared at them with resentment, trying to kill them with their eyes.

Xu RenDong felt that this was not good so he said to everyone: “I’m sorry, my friend can’t control his emotions.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the boss is still magnanimous.

Xu RenDong said again in the next sentence: “So you should be polite to me. If you call me names, he will attack you.”

Lian Qiao threw his chair to the ground and, in a voice that was both milky and fierce, barked: “That’s right!”

Everyone: “…” 

Rock Monk suddenly laughed and patted the two hard on the shoulders: “You are really unique, I like it!”

After such a farce, everyone was a little tired. Especially Xu RenDong who had not rested for four or five days in a row. After finally falling asleep and being chased by Freddy all night in his dream, his entire person was simply not good.

The reason he fainted was mostly because of physical exhaustion.

Xu RenDong would never admit that he fainted due to Lian Qiao’s kiss. What a joke, this is not in line with his personality as a nine-level boss!

In short, he can finally sleep well tonight. Xu RenDong lay down between Lian Qiao and Zhong Xiu and said “good night” happily. He almost fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow and, before long, a restless paw touched his collarbone.

Without any hesitation, Xu RenDong kicked Lian Qiao down.

Lian Qiao: “Hey! Boss, I was wrong!”

After a while, Zhong Xiu: “RenDong, are you asleep?”

Xu RenDong woke up in a daze, raised his foot and kicked Zhong Xiu down. .

Zhong Xiu: “???”

Lian Qiao: “Hahahahaha! No one is spared by the Gods!”

The night was finally quiet.
