Chapter 87: Escaping from Burial Grounds (XVIII)

Chapter 87 - Escaping from Burial Grounds (XVIII)

Editor: Kitty

Luo Jian’s body was out of control.

His actions and language were being controlled by something he did not and had never known. It compelled him to do some things he would never do ordinarily and say some things he did not understand. This kind of feeling was very uncomfortable and made Luo Jian feel a strange sense of fear.

So he tried his best and used everything he could to stop his actions—for example, the action of stabbing the poor god in front of him with a knife.

The god knew that Luo Jian did not want to stab him with a knife. Luo Jian did not want to experience the feeling of mutual love and destruction with an ancient person from thousands of years ago. He tried to escape being controlled but found that he could not do anything about it.

F*ck! Won’t this fellow hide?!

The poor god who was being stabbed incessantly did not bother to hide. There were several bloody holes on his body, but he remained stunned and immobile, allowing Luo Jian to continuously jab him. This made Luo Jian so angry he wanted to curse his mother.

At this moment, someone finally understood what Luo Jian was feeling and stopped his movements. However, it was Xing Yan, who was standing beside him, who reached for Luo Jian’s hand, which was holding the knife, and pulled him into his embrace. The stalker was shockingly strong, and Luo Jian, who was held by him, could only remain motionless in his arms.

This incident made all the people at the scene wake up as if from a dream. Specter immediately responded, but he did not care about Luo Jian. Instead, he went directly to the god’s side. The poor god fell to the ground with his whole body soaked in blood, but miraculously, he was still alive after being stabbed by a knife that many times, although his face was unusually pale.

He could not let him die this way! Specter understood this point. Regarding the clues they needed to escape this secret chamber, they all must be obtained from this fake god. Specter immediately took out some magical props to use on the god, stopped him from bleeding, and pulled a bunch of bandages from his carry-on secret chamber to wrap tightly around his chest.

The feeble god just raised his head and looked at Specter. He whispered, “Don’t save me.”

“Why? Do you want to die?” Specter did not heed the other’s party request to stop saving him and continued to bandage him.

“Don’t save me. I’m going to find him.” The feeble god raised his hand and grasped Specter’s wrist.

“Who are you looking for? Can you still find that person you are looking for?” Specter frowned.

“Even if I need to go through high hell and cross the yellow springs, I still insist on finding him!” When the god said this, he seemed to be very serious. Even though he was very weak, even though he looked very miserable, his expression showed that he was determined, and not one person here doubted his words.

But Specter sneered. He turned his head and looked at Luo Jian, who was standing next to him, still in the stalker’s embrace. For quite a while, Luo Jian stayed within Xing Yan’s embrace, and he found that he could gradually get rid of the strange feeling of being controlled. The obsession of ‘Ghost,’ who had attached to him, gradually disappeared. It did not last long, but Luo Jian had felt the strong feelings

It was not just hatred, was it?

Although anger and hate accounted for a larger part of his feelings, other than that, Luo Jian could only feel his sadness; the ghost felt extremely, extremely upset, so upset and in pain and felt that he was not able to acquire what he pleaded for.

This sort of feeling was so strong that it even affected Luo Jian’s own mood. Because of this, he was not able to get over that sort of depressive mood for quite a while, and Xing Yan seemed to notice it. He held Luo Jian tightly and rubbed his hair.

Specter’s eyes stayed on Luo Jian for a while, and then he turned to the young god and said, “The man you love, didn’t he just clearly state it? You sold yourself to the devil and got him involved as well. Where do you think your lover’s soul will be now?”

It was as if the god had understood something, and he immediately changed his previous attitude of seeking death. He gaped at Specter and shouted in a low voice, “What do you mean?”

“What else can I mean?” Something seemed to spark Specter’s anger too. He could not just be a bystander anymore. He grabbed the hair of this stupid god and lifted his head forcibly: “What do you want to save?! You want to go to a hell that has nothing and find a soul that does not exist at all? That ghost is right. You are stupid! Who did you make a shit deal with? You have sold your poor lover without being aware of it! Now you must get back what belongs to you, your man!!”

When Specter loudly roared, his imposing manner was too threatening. Not only did the god feel choked, but the people around him also felt the same. Luo Jian pulled back his neck and tried to shrink into the stalker’s embrace. It was not known when Feng YuLan had arrived by Duan Li’s side, but Duan Li had not only wrapped his arms around his neck but also started to nibble on his face.

The god shrank slightly, closed his eyes, and opened them once again. He suddenly said, “I don’t know who I’ve made the transaction with.”

“What do you mean?” Specter asked incredulously.

“It was when I was at the most desperate point in my life, when my beloved had just passed away,” the god replied in a low voice, “At that time, I was so eager to die that I went to the cliff and wanted to jump down. At that time, I met a wolf…”

“Wolf?”

“Yes, it was a dying wolf covered in blood. Maybe it was one of the survivors after that decisive battle. I thought he had returned for revenge since in general, that was what all wolves wanted, but it didn’t. It brought me a note. The note…… was made of precious paper that we rarely saw during that era.”

When the god said this, not only was Specter surprised, but Luo Jian and the others were also surprised as well. The message on the note was so obvious that they could not even guess it.

When the god mentioned these things, he seemed to be a little doubtful. He continued, “The wolf took the note and threw it in front of me. Then he jumped off the cliff and died. After that, I saw the note…… The language on it was a little strange. I may not have been able to understand the meaning behind the words correctly, but I still had a general idea. I found that it was an invitation—

“The other party claimed to be able to realize any wish I had, even if it was to let time flow backwards and resurrect the dead. The other party also said that they would bestow upon me a mighty power so that I could be immortal and incomparable to others. And all I needed to do was sign on it and promise to be something…… a secret chamber NPC?”

Specter and his companions were all shocked! For a while, they were all speechless, staring at the poor god lying on the ground. The god did not notice the expressions of these people at all and just recalled the contents of the original note. His expression seemed sad:

“I missed him so much…… At that time, I thought that if he could be revived, no matter what the cost was, I could accept it. I had chosen to believe in something unbelievable and ridiculous, so I signed the note. But when I signed my name, the contents of the note magically changed in a moment into a sentence. It asked me: What is your wish?

“So I replied: I want to find the one I love.”

God frowned: “After that, a series of plans were listed on the note, telling me that as long as I carried everything out according to the instructions, I would be able to find the person I wanted. However, the condition was that I must carry out the plan completely, otherwise I would never be able to recover the soul of that person, and I would lose all opportunities to remedy this.”

Specter suddenly felt frightened and recalled the traps in the secret chamber as much as he could. Then, he thought of the many seniors he had seen in the secret chamber before. He wanted to know how long the secret chamber had existed on this planet. He wanted to know the origin of the secret chamber, but no one could answer his question.

The power of the secret chamber, the specialized fields incorporated in it, how huge and broad was it? Was it able to cross through time and space? Could characters from thousands of years ago or thousands of years later be controlled, or could the secret chamber negotiate with or control creatures in different worlds and monsters in outer space?

As long as he thought of these possibilities, Specter was unable to extricate himself from bouts of fear.

He had to force his fluctuating mood to calm. He lowered his head and gazed at the god in front of him: “So how much of your plan has been implemented?”

“To the last step.” The god suddenly showed a smile.

Everyone was shocked by this strange smile! Even Specter was stunned for a moment and took out his weapon directly! His weapon was two pistols, and after Specter took them out, he aimed them at the god lying on the ground without much of a thought.

But with the bang of his guns, the god did not die. He raised his head and looked at Specter, a little surprised, and laughed happily. What was stranger was that there was a dent on his body due to the forceful impact of the bullet. The bullet had created the crater, but it could only remain stuck on his body and could not penetrate his skin.

This was a very strange phenomenon. Specter was in shock for a while but soon calmed down, and he quickly backed away from the god to avoid being hurt. He did not specialize in melee attacks because his defense was very weak. If one had to describe it, his position in battle was a physical DPS who could cause continuous damage.

Specter’s gunshot was like a clarion call for war. Duan Li dragged Ah Lan behind him and drew out his weapon, but the stalker holding onto Luo Jian did not act. Theoretically, he and all other players were enemies. If he took the initiative to help Luo Jian and the others, he would be directly wiped out by the secret chamber.

Therefore, since he could not act in plain sight, he could only settle with tricks carried out secretly.

The stalker put Luo Jian aside, kissed him on the forehead, pointed to God, and instructed Luo Jian to start fighting. The emotions conveyed by the ouroboros mark were obvious.

Luo Jian was affected by his emotions, nodded, and turned to face the enemy.

Luo Jian’s paternal cousin currently did not have time to pay attention to his younger brother’s movements. Now, his primary goal was to solve the problem in front of him. One was afraid that the so-called god was the ultimate boss set for them by the secret chamber. Only after defeating him could Luo Jian and others continue to move forward.

But……

“Everyone, listen! We can only defeat him, not kill him!” Specter frowned and said, “This is not a game. We are not killing the boss here. What we want can only be dropped by him! In any case, the clues of the whereabouts of the exit must come from his mouth!”

T/N:

Fleur: I was translating this chapter as I was listening to Fuyunohanashi (Given). Anyone watched the show??? ;A; I don’t know why but when I was translating the part on the God and Ghost’s situation, the song just particularly relates to me, yknow?

Kitty: Omg I love that song! Also, lmao unrelated story, but I made a friend in my college dorm when I walked into the bathroom, heard a girl playing this song out loud, and was like “This anime/song is so good”

Fleur: I love that song too. Omg wow!! Fujoshis/fudanshis unite!

Fleur: Anyway, do note the gaming terminologies used in EIC. Because the sequel (perhaps ‘sequel’ is not an apt word, but another series set in the same world) to EIC is an e-sports novel, perhaps that’s why the author used so much of it?
