Chapter 160: 48. The atmosphere is tense, it’s hard to tell who has outdone whom (two combined into one)_6
Spencer couldn’t just sit by and watch her get bullied when he saw it happening.
"Tch..."
Spencer scratched the back of his head in irritation, turned to look in the direction of the Ghost House, then glanced at An Le, who was wiping her tears.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to comfort her but found herself unable to speak.
Even if she could say something, it wouldn’t be anything nice.
At last, she clenched her teeth and crossed her arms before saying,
"Alright, stop crying! I know, it was my fault!"
"..."
An Le, carrying the bag, looked at Spencer with a pitiful gaze.
But watched as Spencer turned her head away, very unwillingly opening and then closing her mouth.
Finally, as if squeezing the words out, she spoke in a whisper,
"I’m... I’m so... sorry..."
"Huh?"
An Le blinked, looking at Spencer who had turned her head back around.
"That’s it! Just like that!"
After saying this with a flushed face, Spencer walked ahead with her arms crossed.
It was the direction to the Ghost House, she left only her back view to An Le,
"Anyway... Since we’ve already cut in line! Let’s leave it at this for now, just go in first and talk, and I won’t cut in line again...
"And... you like Yan Huan, right? The things that happened before were all my doing, it’s got nothing to do with you. Do whatever you want to do, and if you need help, just say it!"
An Le blinked but did not immediately leave; instead, he stepped up beside Spencer and said softly,
"Then... let’s go in together... Spencer... sorry, I didn’t stand up for you earlier..."
Spencer seemed not to care at all, simply saying,
"I’m used to it anyway."
"...Sorry, Spencer. Then... Spencer, can you distract Vice President Sakuragi inside? I want to speak to Xiao Huan..."
"..."
Spencer didn’t say whether he agreed or not but walked into the Ghost House first, casually saying to An Le,
"Hmph, just so we’re clear, I’m going in to have fun in the Ghost House. Helping you is just incidental."
"Mhm, thank you, Spencer..."
Afterward, as if mustering courage, An Le followed Spencer into the Ghost House.
Both sides temporarily ceased their actions; only Little Thumb and Nara, who had witnessed everything, were left in deep shock.
Wait, what did we come here to do again?
Wasn’t it something against Yan Huan?
How did it suddenly turn into something about friendship and friends that I don’t understand, and then they just walked into the Ghost House?
I don’t get it...
But anyway, both Little Thumb and Nara thought this was just a slight detour with room for operation.
From Nara’s perspective, the young lady had successfully entered the Ghost House, and furthermore, Yan Huan and the young lady had become closer because of this detour.
All he needed to do was command those arranged staff members and manipulate the Ghost House mechanisms to keep Spencer away from Yan Huan and the young lady.
From Little Thumb’s perspective, at least he had encountered Yan Huan, and he also had Spencer – this silly, strong friend. Wouldn’t it be easy to create a situation to be alone with Yan Huan?
Just charge in with the modifier, recount past events, and won’t the desires be greatly fulfilled?
Little Thumb and Nara, though they haven’t met, concurrently revealed expressions that their schemes were about to succeed.
Regardless, the chance to be alone has come, the advantage is mine!
Next, just need a proper arrangement inside the Ghost House, surely I can win!
...
...
"I hate this... I hate this..."
After entering the main door of the Ghost House, they found themselves in a complex network of school corridors. Both Yan Huan and Sakuragi Hitomi carried a mindset of wanting to protect each other, trying to stay as far from Spencer as possible.
As a result, hand in hand, they scrambled forward only to realize after a while that they didn’t know which old classroom they’d ended up in.
Surrounded by pitch black, ghostly whispers could be heard from an unknown source, and a cold breeze was hitting them, sending chills down their spines.
Sakuragi Hitomi, subconsciously seeking warmth, gripped Yan Huan’s hand a little tighter.
"Sakuragi, that... hand."
Afterward, she suddenly realized something.
"!"
She almost couldn’t maintain her facade, quickly letting go of Yan Huan’s hand and apologized to him,
"President, sorry, because of that incident with Spencer just now..."
"It’s okay."
Yan Huan smiled slightly, but the expression hidden beneath his Perfect Expression Management was not so pleasant.
He truly hadn’t expected Spencer to suddenly appear here.
Originally, he came here to see if he could make some progress on Bai Yi’s modifier, but instead, he ran into that troublesome Spencer, which gave him a major headache.
It was like preparing a table of food only for two tables of guests to show up; how do you deal with that?
Moreover, if Bai Yi and Spencer met earlier, he didn’t know if that would trigger the Lin Gate Holy Grail war ahead of time.
Troublesome...
Seeing no change in Yan Huan’s expression, Sakuragi Hitomi breathed a sigh of relief and actively changed the topic,
"This Ghost House looks quite big, and there are no guides or anything. I heard we need to find the exit and the key to it, and getting out would mean success."
Yan Huan also snapped back to attention, temporarily pushing aside the matters concerning Bai Yi and Spencer, focusing,
"But they probably won’t make it too difficult; some ’soft guidance’ signs should be set up. Look over there, Sakuragi."
Sakuragi Hitomi followed the direction of Yan Huan’s pointing and saw on the classroom blackboard in front of them, a line of bloody text read,
"She’s hiding in the equipment room!! Kill her! Don’t let her out!"
Sakuragi Hitomi withdrew her gaze and said to Yan Huan with a smile,
"It looks like we need to find the equipment room first."
"Yes, let’s go out and find our way, try not to bump into that lunatic."
He was referring to Spencer.
"Okay, President."
Sakuragi Hitomi smiled and nodded, then walked out with Yan Huan.
While gauging the door numbers in the classrooms and seemingly to alleviate the oppressive atmosphere of the Ghost House, Sakuragi Hitomi took up the topic,
"By the way, President, I wanted to ask you about something."
"...Hmm?"
"Just now, you and Spencer seemed to have said some words to each other in private, right?"
Yan Huan was slightly startled and turned to look at Sakuragi Hitomi, who was behind him, her eyes full of concern.
This concern was not feigned.
During the confrontation with Spencer earlier, that weird urge appeared again in her mind.
That feeling of unconditionally believing Spencer and the President, letting down her guard and resistance.
Repeatedly like this, Sakuragi Hitomi became increasingly convinced that Spencer, just like herself, had some kind of special superpower.
And, through those weak thoughts popping up in her mind, she inferred that the President, who lacks abilities, would definitely be influenced this way too.
If this kept going on without care, the President...
For some reason, Sakuragi Hitomi suddenly had a vision of Spencer holding a hesitant, evasive-looking President in his arms.
She looked down arrogantly, high on her own grandeur, and burst into a spiteful laugh, revealing a characteristic fang,
"Ehahahahahaha! The President is mine now!"
And then, when she looked towards the President, his expression was even darker, a single tear sliding down his cheek,
"I’m sorry, Sakuragi... I can’t go back anymore..."
"!!"
Sakuragi Hitomi suddenly shivered, her disdain for Spencer reaching its peak.
No, she must deal with Spencer without letting the President know!
"Ah, sorry, Sakuragi, I hid it from you earlier. Remember she took a photo of us? To make her delete it, I had to be a little cunning."
"A little cunning?"
"That’s right."
Yan Huan smiled faintly, turned his head towards Sakuragi Hitomi, and said,
"As a trade for returning the photo, I agreed to a condition with her."
Hearing these words, Sakuragi Hitomi’s eyes narrowed bit by bit.
