Chapter 90

A figure loomed behind them!!!

As Tang Ning's fingertip touched the confirmation button, his expression changed from a fake smile to one of extreme horror. The flash went off, freezing the not-so-pleasant scene—

Tang Ning stared wide-eyed in panic, while Lin Yun showed only a faint smile. The most dazzling smile came from the eerie figure.

"Back off!" After saying this to Tang Ning, Lin Yun grabbed his hand and started running. Instead of retreating, she charged straight at the figure, pulling out a long, thin strip of blood-red fabric from her pocket and swiftly bound the ethereal figure securely.

It all happened so fast that in the blink of an eye, everything settled down.

Tang Ning's face was blank as he watched Lin Yun approach him. "Well, this is what I meant by making money with you," Lin Yun said, shaking the piece of paper in her hand. The paper made a rustling sound, and the drawn eyes on it swirled around, staring straight at Tang Ning.

Tang Ning swallowed hard, feeling that his complexion was probably worse than the paper's. "Were you capturing it with the camera just now?"

"Yes, when we turn our backs to it, it thinks we can't see it, and then it dares to follow and see what we're doing," Lin Yun speculated about the paper's thought process with an air of authority. He had initially spoken in jest, but halfway through, he noticed Tang Ning's serious expression and how he was attentively listening to his nonsense. So Lin Yun couldn't help but laugh before continuing, "Mainly because in the real world, dirty things might go unnoticed by the naked eye, but they're more easily captured by the camera."

As Lin Yun spoke, Tang Ning suddenly remembered what the cameraman had told him while filming the urban legends show, saying he saw a woman in white, but it didn't appear in the footage.

"Speaking of which, did you bring out the task item, the Red Wedding Dress?" Lin Yun asked.

Tang Ning shook his head. Bringing out task items required physical contact with the items at the moment of leaving the game. During the funeral instance, he needed to wear mourning clothes and the red wedding dress.

"That's a pity. The Red Wedding Dress is quite a good defensive item." Lin Yun pointed to the blood-stained strip of cloth they used when they went to the tomb, torn from the body of Ji Lianyun. It was specially given to Tang Ning and Lin Yun to prevent them from getting lost. After the task ended, Lin Yun unraveled this strip of cloth. "It's better than this thing of mine."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ning couldn't help but regret.

"I can sell this paper for a good price. When the time comes, we'll split the profit fifty-fifty," Lin Yun said, then lowered her voice to share her experience, "And by resolving this matter, if you report it upwards, you might even get rewarded twice."

Report it upwards?

What report? Wasn't this mentioned on the forum?

Lin Yun seemed to see through Tang Ning's thoughts and explained, "Really important information won't be mentioned on the forums. Plus, these occurrences of game-related supernatural infiltrations into reality have been happening frequently lately. Many things have only recently been perfected. You should be careful at home too, don't walk alone at night, and don't engage in ghost-invoking activities late at night."

Lin Yun meticulously briefed Tang Ning, who listened earnestly, almost wishing he had a notebook to record Lin Yun's words as precious advice. Then he heard Lin Yun ask, "Can you handle spicy food? Can we have hotpot later?"

Tang Ning: "?"

Tang Ning glanced at the paper Lin Yun was holding and asked cautiously, "Are we bringing this thing to the hotpot?"

Lin Yun: "Don't worry, the hotpot restaurant has seen everything."

Tang Ning: ""

I feel like they've really seen everything.

Soon, Tang Ning arrived at the hotpot restaurant with apprehension. Lin Yun and the paper sat on one side, while Tang Ning sat alone on the other. The waiter glanced at the paper they brought with them, but his smile remained warm and welcoming. After a while, she even brought a cloth doll, trying to place it next to Tang Ning's empty seat, offering him some warmth.

Tang Ning firmly declined.

He had PTSD from cloth dolls.

Lin Yun watched with amusement as Tang Ning interacted with the waiter, and when Tang Ning finally sent away the overly enthusiastic waiter, Lin Yun, looking at Tang Ning who was eating with a serious expression, finally revealed the purpose of her visit, "Tang Ning, can I be your regular teammate?"
