"Ah," Fatty said, his mouth slightly agape. "Yeah, our event is held by the Liannu River. They said players without tickets can't get in, but they didn't say anything about ghosts. And Xiao Hong was even considered an NPC before."
At this point, Gu Mian had already pictured it: Xiao Hong discovering everyone's disappearance, panicking, sprinting out the main gate, then plunging into the river and swimming for dear life. Just as she neared, she'd be conveniently pulled out by the brother—the one who'd been forcefully abducting young women.
Xiao Hong's ghastly face must have surely shocked any passersby.
Just then, another female ghost's head appeared at the boat's edge.
Gu Mian stared at this head for several seconds. It suddenly dawned on him that humans and ghosts might have very different standards of beauty.
Perhaps in the brother's eyes, Xiao Hong was a peerless beauty. Otherwise, why would he have grabbed her in the water?
