My Deceased Childhood Friend is the Horror Game Boss 2 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The manager flew into a rage.

“The auction is about to start! How the hell were you watching the warehouse?!”

The staff member in charge of the warehouse went ashen and argued in a small voice, “Manager, there has never been a precedent of an auction item escaping before. Not to mention, Sheng Ling was locked inside the Coffin of Death. None of her items could be used. How could she possibly have escaped? There has to be something fishy going on!”

A voice that sounded almost amused cut in.

“Sheng Ling’s disappearance really has nothing to do with him.”

Ou Feiluan’s lips split into a grin, revealing a smile brimming with malice.

“Because it was Song Zhi who let Sheng Ling go.”

In an instant, everyone’s eyes shot toward me like arrows.

My heart skipped a beat, but I kept my expression calm.

“What are you talking about?

“I was indeed the one who put the price tag on Sheng Ling yesterday, but everyone saw that she was locked back inside the stone coffin afterward.

“What proof do you have that I was the one who let her go?”

Ou Feiluan raised an eyebrow. “Of course I have proof.”

[Item: Scene Replay

[Item Grade: A-Rank

[Item Description: Restores the scene of a specified time and location.]

A halo of light spread out, and two blurry figures appeared where it had been cast.

At this exact moment yesterday, I had grabbed Sheng Ling’s hand and quickly written a few words into her palm.

[I will save you. Trust me.]

Sheng Ling looked at me and slowly nodded.

After leaving the hall, I immediately activated an item.

[You have activated S-Rank item “Answer Sheet.”]

A white test paper unfolded, and words like fresh blood surfaced across it.

[Please select a question.

[You have selected a multiple-choice question. The question is as follows:]

[Player Sheng Ling has failed to clear the instance and is trapped inside the Coffin of Death. She is about to be auctioned off. What situation will she face?

A. Successfully won by a buyer.

B. No successful bid.

C. Attempts to escape but fails.

D. Successfully escapes.]

I wrote down [D].

[Your selection has taken effect.

[Player Sheng Ling will successfully escape tonight.]

The corners of Ou Feiluan’s mouth slowly lifted, his smile carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

“This is the proof.

“Manager, Song Zhi let an auction item go. How should she be punished?”

The manager’s gaze stabbed toward me at once.

“So you were the one behind this!”

He struck as fast as lightning, his hand clamping tightly around my throat.

“Urgh!”

The manager’s voice was sinister and freezing.

“Since you let an auction item escape,

“then you’ll take her place in this auction.

“You will be the auction item!”

My vision went black, and I passed out completely.

The bullet comments exploded instantly.

[Holy shit!! Gardenia Sister is just too kind! What do we do now?!]

[What happens if she becomes an auction item? Is it a guaranteed-death plot kill?]

[Not guaranteed death. Worse than death! Once the bid succeeds, the auction item’s body and soul both belong to the bidder.]

[But all those bidders are total perverts! The torture methods they come up with are endless. Just watching it makes me sick. She’d be better off dying outright!!]

[Ahhh, no, don’t! Our Gardenia Sister is so pretty! She can’t be ruined by those perverts!!]

[It’s over. I don’t even dare to watch. Can Gardenia Sister survive this instance…]

[??? No, what are you all worried about? Don’t forget who the Final Boss of Blood Auction House is.]

[Holy crap!!! I almost forgot. The owner of this auction house is-]

[Boss, hurry up and get over here! Someone’s bullying your wife!!]
