Chapter 186: Chapter 169: Hide and Seek Game of Four People_2

"For matters regarding physical condition..." even Magong Tong knew it would be highly impolite to inquire further.

She wasn’t blind and naturally noticed something was wrong with Qianye Yuki’s legs, otherwise she wouldn’t have come in leaning on a cane.

"I’m very sorry, Miss Qianye," Magong Tong apologized, bowing to Qianye Yuki.

"It’s okay. Compared to that, Senior Beichuan, shall we start now?" Qianye Yuki forgave Magong Tong generously and turned to look at Beichuan Si, initiating the conversation.

"Yes," Beichuan Si nodded, and then he turned back to the curious Shen Gu Mirai, "Shinkai, Magong, both of you step out for a moment, I need to attend to Miss Ying’s matters now. It won’t take long to wrap up here; we’ll resolve your issue afterward."

Shen Gu Mirai and Magong Tong naturally agreed and left the living room for a side room.

"Then let’s begin now."

As soon as Magong Tong and the others had left, Beichuan Si wasted no time. He helped Qianye Yuki to lie flat and had her stretch out her foot.

Qianye Yuki’s legs were not much different from before, still thin and withered, like staves of firewood.

But Beichuan Si had already rejuvenated life into those legs. With coordinated rehabilitation training, it wouldn’t be long before Qianye Yuki would also have full, slender thighs.

While treating her, Beichuan Si did not forget to ask,

"Miss Ying, how did Hui Li do with her studies at your place yesterday?"

"Miss Hui Li? You can’t really tell in just a day, but I know that Miss Hui Li’s basics are solid, which makes teaching her much easier."

Feeling the burning sensation on the surface of her foot, Qianye Yuki let out a long breath.

"Is that so? Then I’ll have to trouble you with Hui Li for the time being," Beichuan Si said calmly, looking down.

"I still owe you a great debt of gratitude, Senior Beichuan. If not for you, my legs..."

"..." Beichuan Si.

Beichuan Si’s expression remained as calm as still water, showing no ripples of emotion from Qianye Yuki’s praise.

After a while, he finally spoke up,

"Rather than that... Miss Ying, I’m more interested to know if you have any other information about urban legends?"

"Urban legends?" Qianye Yuki tilted her head in thought.

As an artist, she often actively sought out spirits with lower levels of grudge because she cared about related stories.

But... why would Beichuan Si be interested in that?

Without voicing her question, Qianye Yuki pondered for a moment before answering, "If you’re talking about recent legends, then it would surely be Sanmu Puppet Factory—"

She had barely started speaking when Beichuan Si interrupted her.

"You don’t need to mention that, the issue with the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory has already been resolved."

"Already resolved?" Not only did Qianye Yuki open her mouth in surprise, but even Qianye Cang couldn’t help speaking, "Senior Beichuan... Are you joking? Although we know you are very capable, isn’t that place an absolute danger zone? My sister and I did a lot of research but never dared to explore inside. The spirits hidden there are beyond our imagination; it should be quite difficult for humans to resolve."

Qianye Cang respected Beichuan Si and didn’t use any extreme words, just expressing her inner thoughts completely.

In their perspective, that place was filled with grudges, so oppressive they could hardly breathe.

Could the stories about that place have been resolved by Beichuan Si?

If what Beichuan Si said was true, then they must acknowledge their limited imaginations due to their weakness.

And to Qianye Cang’s doubts, Beichuan Si showed no intention to argue; he merely nodded gently.

Hss...

Senior Beichuan is terrifying to such an extent... No wonder he carried a backpack home today, could it be that he resolved it last night?

Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang exchanged glances, each seeing the astonishment in the other’s eyes.

"Besides the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory, are there any other famous and more realistic ghost stories?" Beichuan Si asked again.

Beichuan Si’s obsession and fanaticism toward ghost stories were somewhat beyond the imagination of Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang.

"Apart from the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory... indeed, there is another famous ghost story..." Qianye Yuki said with a thoughtful look, then continued, "The name of this ghost story is ’The Four-Player Hide and Seek Game.’"

"In short, it’s a game of hide and seek with vengeful spirits and ghosts. It has become quite popular among middle school and high school students recently because it doesn’t require anything special—just finding an abandoned elementary school is enough... Lately, some elementary schools in Tokyo have been involved in new building projects, right? The old campuses are just left as they are, waiting to be refurbished into something else, and people often break in at night to play the game there."

"That’s a very informative ghost story, thank you," Beichuan Si retracted his palm and continued, "Miss Ying, remember to keep moving your legs. We should do this again in a couple of days."

The dead energy treatment was over.

This time, Beichuan Si had channeled even more dead energy into her.

Since the dead energy from the previous session had been completely absorbed by her legs and her vitality had even improved, Beichuan Si was able to treat even more areas.

"Thank you, Senior Beichuan."

Qianye Yuki, leaning on her crutch, nodded at Beichuan Si with difficulty.

"You’re welcome, it’s simply a mutual exchange of needs. Oh, and Miss Ying, please wait a moment." Beichuan Si called to Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang, who were about to leave, then walked upstairs, and grabbed Beichuan Huili, who had been hiding at the top of the stairs and watching them from above.

"Brother Temple?!" Beichuan Huili’s eyes widened, her face the picture of innocence.

Beichuan Si ignored her coy act, and simply said to Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang:

"Take this girl with you."

Qianye Yuki nodded with a light laugh: "Sure, we haven’t started teaching today anyway. Huili, you should come back with me."

"...But... today I was going to be with Nanako and the others..." Beichuan Huili started to say, but then seemed to realize something, looked back at Beichuan Si, and obediently nodded:

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Qianye."

Beichuan Si certainly wasn’t going to let Beichuan Huili slack off easily.

After all, Qianye Yuki’s online classes for a month cost eight million yen.

Who knew how much money Beichuan Huili was costing them by skiving off for a few hours.

Who wouldn’t feel the pinch?

But Beichuan Si thought she still deserved some rest.

He would arrange Beichuan Huili’s break time after coming up with an idea.

He thought to himself, then looked toward Magong Tong and Shen Gu Mirai.

Once Qianye Yuki and Qianye Cang had left, it was even easier to deal with the two girls, Magong Tong and Shen Gu Mirai.

Magong Tong was simply looking to ask him about sudden boosts in inspiration, while Shen Gu Mirai definitely wanted to hear about Beichuan Si’s night at the Sanmu Doll Abandoned Factory.

Both issues were easy to solve.

After all, Beichuan Si saw himself as an affable and approachable person; solving these two matters shouldn’t take too much time.

And now, what Beichuan Si was truly interested in was the new urban legend that Qianye Yuki had told him about.

Beichuan Si pondered with his eyes cast down.

’The Four-Player Hide and Seek Game.’

If all four players were the living... then they must be playing the game with the dead.

So—

What is the outcome of losing the game?
