Feng Yao finally managed to pull out Zhang Lu’s phone. It was the newest iPhone X. She had seen it in the ads many times already but just can’t afford to buy it. She lovingly touched the smooth screen of the phone and glanced at Zhang Lu again.
Zhang Lu was still fast asleep. She seems to be having a good dream as the corners of her mouth are slightly raised. Looking at her sleeping face, Feng Yao felt a little tangled, but soon she hardened her heart.
‘I had never intended to kill her, I swear.’ she thought to herself, ‘I just wanted to survive.’
‘And if I don’t do it today……’She looked at the empty pill bottle next to Zhang Lu’s bed, ‘There won’t be any chances tomorrow.’
She felt a little more at ease after comforting herself, so she took the phone with her and headed towards the bathroom. She tiptoed past Peng Xua, the fat middle-aged woman who was sound asleep and she had finally stopped snoring.
Sitting on the toilet, Feng Yao opened Zhang Lu’s phone and turned on mute.
“0617”
She smoothly entered the birthday of Zhang Lu’s idol and the screen unlocked right after. Feng Yao paused as she held her breath, there were no movements and it was really quiet.
The complete silence was like a safety suit, covering her and giving her more courage. Although she had already made up her mind to it, her hand still trembled a little when it came to the actual thing.
‘I never wanted to kill her. I never did.’Feng Yao sighed and closed her eyes, ‘Be patient, be patient……’
She thought of those cool novel protagonists who were swift and merciless in killing, she calmed down a little. Taking a deep breath, she opened the app nervously.
MengGui1Fierce ghost store is not open yet, since its opening hours are from 8 am to 12 pm. Recalling the suicidal newbie from last night, Feng Yao was a little curious about what happened to him. She knows that a pig can’t eat a tiger, but she also knows that no one would cause trouble in the palace when they had no connections.
‘He’s probably an experienced player, he has quite the personality and is also quite handsome.’Until now, Feng Yao’s thoughts were still running wild, perhaps the thoughts of murdering her ‘friend’ were forcing her to find something to distract her from the guilt.With her different thoughts filling her mind, Feng Yao clicked off the ‘Beware of Internet Frauds and Punish Criminals Severely’ advertisement that popped up as soon as she entered the mall and went directly to ‘My Space’.
As early as last evening, she had already fiddled with the app enough. While the others are still looking at the different products, she has already started to look at other things. Feng Yao met an experienced player in her first game and he told her: “The game might have a lot of fancy rules, but they are all just a disguise. Try to find the hidden meaning behind it. The secret to escaping the games lies in the details.”And thanks to this, she found a tiny, grey, insignificant ‘transfer’ button.
When no one was paying attention, she had secretly tried it. To transfer money, you need to know the other party’s phone number and name. In addition, the other party also needs to confirm the payment.
In the previous games, everyone she ran into was a stranger, forget about phone numbers, most people’s names were fake.
But this time, she got lucky!
‘I just want to survive, and spending 1500 yuan2205,79 USD isn’t that costly for me.’Feng Yao told herself, ‘ The safe items prices are really low, the few I like in the third category together can’t even add up to 998 yuan. If I spend all of the 998 yuan then I must buy some dangerous items…… I will only transfer 500368,60 USD yuan to Zhang Lu, there won’t be much problem then.’
Then she would hide the phone and secretly buy a dangerous item for Zhang Lu…… She stuffed the rest of her thoughts back into her head.
The temperature in the bathroom dropped, and there were even small droplets of water condensing on the mirror. Feng Yao, who was focused on her mobile was ignorant of this. The nervousness made her body heat up and her palms sweaty. She didn’t even notice that something was appearing in the mirror.
‘Open faster, please open faster’ Feng Yao waited anxiously for the app on the phone to open. She tapped the transfer page in a panic, as if the faster she did it, the more correct she was. After entering Zhang Lu’s phone, she put 500 in the amount and pressed confirm.
Suddenly a pop-up window appeared on the page: “Be wary of scams and be careful when transferring money to unfamiliar accounts.”
Feng Yao clicked it off impatiently, and then a second window popped up: “Be careful of large transfers and check your security.”
“Damn! There are more!” Feng Yao clicked it off again.
A third window popped up again: “For the safety of your property, please confirm that you’re in the right state before operating.”
There were already movements in the bedroom, and Feng Yao was worried that Peng Xuan had woken up.
“Scram!”Feng Yao clicked it off franticly without thinking.
“Transfers are subject to a handling fee4It’s a fee paid to cover the packaging, transport, etc, of a commodity of 2%, please confirm.”
“Confirm!”
The transfer was finally successful. She hurriedly picked up Zhang Lu’s phone and began to confirm the transfer.
“The Internet speed is too slow, the payment is loading.” A window popped up on Zhang Lu’s phone.
Feng Yao, who was sweating profusely, didn’t realize that the noise didn’t only come from outside the bathroom, but from inside the bathroom. On the surface of the mirror which was covered in mist, the originally blurry thing gradually became clear.
It was a bloody face!
“You have successfully completed the transaction, please remember to leave us a five-star rating!”
Looking at the screen, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn’t matter, after all, she was just helping Zhang Lu…… She breathed a sigh of relief and thought. However, it would have been better if she had waited a few days, why is she suddenly so impulsive today, impulsive……
How could she suddenly lose control of her emotions and feel that she must transfer money this morning?
As if being splashed with cold water, Zhang Lu’s smile flashed across Feng Yao’s mind.
The mist on the mirror became thicker and thicker. Feng Yao suddenly raised her head in horror and saw a flash of red.
What is this……?
There was something wet and slippery touching her face, her cheeks twitched a little but she didn’t dare to look back.
“I’m here for my handling fee!”
That malicious voice was the last thing she heard.
- 1Fierce ghost
- 2205,79 USD
- 368,60 USD
- 4It’s a fee paid to cover the packaging, transport, etc, of a commodity
