Chapter 582: Sadako in Black

She looked up and saw a blood-red face before her. She screamed and pushed Zhou Die towards Fang Mo’er. Then, she stood up and ran out.

After being pushed, Zhou Die finally spoke up and called out to Bai Rong, “Miss… Miss Bai, help me. I can’t move my legs!”

Bai Rong merely looked back at her without saying a word. Then, she ran out without looking back. She was so fast that she disappeared just like Brother Fatty.

Seeing that she had been abandoned by Bai Rong, Zhou Die’s eyes were filled with despair. She looked at Fang Mo’er in horror and fell backwards in retreat.

Fang Mo’er quickly comforted her, “It’s alright, it’s alright, don’t be afraid. It’s me, Fang Mo’er.”

“However, this hood is too tight. Please help me, I can’t take it off.”

Fang Mo’er was a little embarrassed. She wanted Shi Mo to help, but he was nowhere to be found. He was no longer here.

Hearing Fang Mo’er’s reassurance, Zhou Die finally calmed down. Trembling, she asked, “Fang Mo’er?” Finally, she no longer felt afraid and reached out to help her remove the hood.

When they heard Bai Rong’s scream, Tang Ye and Chen Luo went downstairs to check. They saw Bai Rong running towards them from the stairs.

“Where are Brother Fatty and Zhou Die? What happened to you guys?” Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

Finally seeing a familiar face, Bai Rong’s legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. Panting, she said, “I don’t know. We got separated. Brother Fatty ran away.”

The depressing music continued as Chen Luo suggested going downstairs to find the other two.

Although Bai Rong did not want to go, she did not dare to stay here alone. She could only grit her teeth and follow behind the other two.

Elsewhere, Brother Fatty rushed to the door to the first floor in fear.

He wanted to run out, but the door had been locked by the program team. There was no way he could get out. He angrily kicked the door twice, but it did not budge and he was forced to give up.

He stood by the door and looked outside for a while. He slowly calmed down and suddenly remembered that he was in the middle of filming a show. If the matter of him being afraid of ghosts was broadcast, then his reputation would certainly be ruined.

This was a secret that he kept in his heart. He was not afraid of worldly things. He was only afraid of ghosts and gods.

It was not due to superstition, but an inexplicable fear. Normally, he could not even watch ghost movies.

The reason he had come to participate in this variety show was purely because his manager had signed him up to solidify his reputation. If it had been his choice, he would not have come.

After calming down, he began to act on the camera.

“Which ghost was it that didn’t come just now? I came all this way for nothing. I thought I would be able to catch a ghost. Where’s the ghost? Hurry up and come out. Don’t make me look for you! I came out to chase after a ghost. I wonder if the two ladies are alright? No, I have to go back and take a look.”

After saying that, he slowly walked back upstairs again. In his heart, he told himself, ‘It’s all fake. I’m only filming this for a show. I can’t ruin my reputation. I’m not afraid.’

However, this self-comforting did not last for long. There was a black shadow that was slowly moving towards him. Fatty stood there without moving, wanting to see what it was.

Only when the shadow got closer did he see it clearly. Something dressed in black was crawling towards him on the ground. Its long black hair was spread out in front of its head already as it dragged itself on the ground. One of its hands was supporting its body while the other was holding a chain.

Accompanied by the terrifying music playing in his ears, this scene reminded him of Sadako¹, except that this Sadako was in black.

Both of his legs trembled uncontrollably and a warm liquid flowed down his legs as he staggered to sit on the ground.

Since Zhou Die had been captured by Fang Mo’er while she was alone, that meant that she had become a ghost. The addition of her would strengthen the numbers of the ghost team further.

Because she was so timid, Fang Mo’er asked her to follow her lead.

“Sister Fang, you’re such a nice person. I thought I was dead for sure just now.” Zhou Die was no longer that nervous in front of Fang Mo’er so she began to talk more.

Fang Mo’er held onto Zhou Die’s hand and smiled. “We’ve successfully captured another person, so now, there are only three people left. The remaining two are a little tricky. We’ll win if we manage to capture one more.”

The weather was getting worse and the clouds were rolling. Although it was daytime, it was getting darker and darker outside. It was so dark in the hospital that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the room and the room lit up for a brief moment. Bai Rong, who was following behind Tang Ye and Chen Luo, saw a “ghost” not far away from her out of the corner of her eye.

She turned her head in fear. By then, the room had returned to darkness and she could not see anything.

Fang Mo’er led Zhou Die over to stand not far from Bai Rong. Both of them were wearing night-vision goggles so they could clearly see Bai Rong’s expression.

She quietly walked behind Bai Rong and whispered into her ear, “You’re so cruel…”
