I’m Really Scared
Chapter 48: Extra Loot

"In this storyline, I seem to be playing the role of a ghost wandering in the Edge of Hell, trying to find the entrance to hell but failing."

Since there was no immediate danger, Guan Shan pulled up the simulator's initial prompt interface and pondered over the cryptic text.

According to Buddhist teachings, the period from death to reincarnation is called the intermediate state, lasting forty-nine days, with an opportunity for liberation every seven days.

If, after forty-nine days, one fails to reincarnate, they become a ghost, never able to be reborn.

And this ghost... was clearly lost.

Lost three times, leading to three crossroads.

"Although it seems confusing, what can these three 'crossroads' intersect with? It's obvious they're monsters!"

Using his superior gamer logic, Guan Shan stepped outside the storyline framework and quickly understood the text's meaning.

"Especially the last monster, its weapon-sealing ability vaguely corresponds to 'shedding clothes' in the storyline, similar to the 'Expelliarmus' spell from Harry Potter."

Guan Shan's mind raced. "By analogy, the later 'letting go of memories' and 'abandoning the body' should also hint at some monster abilities."

"In other words, there are two more elite monsters, and after dealing with them, heading higher up will lead to the boss."

He frowned. "But what could these abilities be? 'Letting go of memories'... maybe something that affects thoughts? 'Abandoning the body,' following this logic, could it mean sealing my melee abilities?"

Guan Shan nodded, feeling he was on the right track. He just needed to be mentally prepared and cautious.

"Alright... I've rested enough, and my health is fully recovered."

Guan Shan glanced at his health bar, feeling much more secure.

He had wrapped the 【Healing Talisman】 around his wrist, its special oil-soaked cloth covered in incomprehensible dark red runes, looking rather eerie.

But to Guan Shan, it was a mysterious, exotic art form.

How cute.

He rolled up his sleeve to cover the cloth, glanced at the wriggling small monsters around him, and pulled out his Glock 17.

He smiled slightly. "Since they're not running, they shouldn't have."

Whether to gain experience or enhance his strength through passive augmentation, clearing small monsters was essential.

It was the most enjoyable part of the simulation, besides looting bodies.

——

While Guan Shan looted the bodies, the Worker Bees who had initially noticed the commotion had all fled.

Despite their heinous deeds, they had never witnessed such brutal carnage.

In an instant, Worker Bee Three, a C-level Esper they considered incredibly powerful, was torn apart by a young man who appeared out of nowhere!

Then, the man seized the sword that had pierced his hand and, with a terrifying expression, turned the struggling Worker Bee into a beehive...

What kind of overwhelming strength and brutal nature could create such a horrifying scene?! Everyone who saw this had only one thought left in their minds—escape! The Worker Bees in "Death Hive" were hierarchical, with the top ten Worker Bees being leaders whom the lower-ranked ones served...

For instance, Duan Ning had issued the order to surround this stranger.

But now, they had lost the courage to fight, let alone engage with this man! No... he wasn't human, he was a demon! The remaining Worker Bees were paralyzed with fear, desperately trying to crawl away, but their bodies wouldn't cooperate, their legs trembling, leaving them only to scream for help.

However, "Death Hive" was full of selfish criminals. Who would return to save them? More terrifyingly, after resting for a while, the man pulled out a gun and approached them with a slight smile! "Bang!"

Worker Bee Twenty-One watched as the closest comrade was shot dead, their head exploding like a firework, scattering pieces in the dark like a fleeting meteor.

Duan Ning's last remaining eye seemed to watch everything with deep fear.

The man showed no emotion, taking one step and firing one shot.

The flashlight in his hand was like the Grim Reaper's scythe; whoever the light touched, their life was taken next.

One, two, three...

Falling deaths, resisting deaths, fleeing deaths.

Worker Bee Twenty-One trembled, retreating into a corner. Regaining some control over his legs, he tried to escape while calling for help on the radio: "Factory southeast, enemy attack! Worker Bee Three is dead! Requesting reinforcements!"

He turned back, almost losing his mind.

Guan Shan had noticed him, shining the flashlight and exclaiming, "Missed one, huh?"

"Worker Bee Three is dead?" Worker Bee Six responded on the radio, puzzled. "Wasn't it Gao Ye who went in there? Since when couldn't Duan Ning handle a little girl and got killed instead? How embarrassing."

Worker Bee Six lounged in his factory office, unconcerned by Duan Ning's death.

He always looked down on her and the recently deceased Tao Luo.

Though he ranked lower, he was confident that if they fought seriously, he would win. He just didn't bother.

Duan Ning's death was simply because she wasn't skilled enough.

But, for another "Immortal" who sealed weapons to die in combat, that was too weak.

Worker Bee Six sneered.

The radio crackled with trembling denial: "No, it's not Gao Ye. It's a stranger... wait, I remember, he's Guan Shan—bang!"

Before Worker Bee Twenty-One finished, the radio erupted in a loud explosion.

Guan Shan? Worker Bee Six's smile froze.

The radio clearly transmitted Guan Shan's surprised voice, "Good luck, found extra loot."

——

"Guan Shan?"

Gao Ye had just broken through a few Worker Bees' encirclement, jumping over a barbed wire fence onto a rooftop, immediately seeing Guan Shan holding a gun.

Gao Ye's pupils contracted.

The man was drenched in blood, dripping from his clothes and gun onto the ground.

Surrounded by corpses.
