The Boyfriends I Picked Up in Horror Games Are Bizarre - Chapter 25

Looking at the two ghostly figures huddled in the corner, Shen Ji spoke in a trembling, tearful voice, “Yao Yao used to treat me so well. She would hug me every day and kiss me, and she never wanted me to suffer. If anyone tried to bully me, she’d definitely stand up for me. She has never been so cold to me as she was today.”

The ghost in white rasped, “So did she say she wanted to break up with you?”

“Of course not!” Shen Ji glanced at the white-clad female ghost, whose emotional intelligence was obviously lacking. Clutching his chest as if protecting something precious treasure, he said smugly, “I can feel it—Yao Yao still loves me. Her heart is filled with thoughts of me.”

He was the one who previously claimed that Yao Yao didn’t love him, and now he was the one bragging that her heart was all his.

The red-clad ghost stammered, “Th-then how has she been cold to you?”

“Starting today, Yao Yao is assigning me double math homework.”

The two female ghosts: “……”

Shen Ji whimpered, “Yao Yao would never be so harsh to me. She didn’t even kiss me when she left this morning. Does that mean she doesn’t love me as much anymore? Just thinking about it makes me feel like I could die from sadness.”

Wake up!

You’re already dead!

The two female ghosts stared blankly at the figure hanging from the rope, with countless thoughts of sarcasm in their minds. For instance, they couldn’t understand why he, having emotional troubles, didn’t go to his girlfriend for help but instead chose to occupy Xiao Hong’s territory by hanging things here. Did he really think this would clear his mind?

With tear-filled eyes, Shen Ji looked pitifully at the two ghostly figures in the corner. But then, his dark eyes narrowed, and his lips curled into a smile carrying a hint of danger. “Since you’re Yao Yao’s neighbors, you must know what happened yesterday while I wasn’t around.”

How could he go from crying like a grade schooler one moment to being so terrifying the next?

Shen Ji looked at the ghost in red, “Xiao Hong.”

The ghost in red quickly shook her head, “I-I… I don’t know anything!”

Shen Ji then turned to the ghost in white, “Xiao Bai.”

The ghost in white trembled, with water pooling on the floor beneath her. She stammered, “Last night, she came to me to borrow something. I didn’t have it, so I went and got some from somewhere else to give to her.”

Shen Ji asked, “What is it?”

Xiao Bai: “Contraceptives.”

Shen Ji tilted his head in confusion. “What’s that?”

Xiao Bai covered her face in embarrassment. “It’s…it’s for…for pregnancy prevention…you know, condoms.”

Shen Ji had never heard of such a thing, but he managed to piece together its purpose from the context. He was stunned for a while and then said, “Why would Yao Yao need that?”

A twisted figure that had been lurking in the shadows couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted, “How can you be so dense! Of course, she needs it because she’s planning to sleep with a man! What, do you think she’s going to use it to blow up balloons?”

Shen Ji looked down, spotting the figure crawling out.

It was a strange creature with fish scales, a pig’s tail, and a sheep’s limbs. From the face, one could barely tell that it was the missing Zhao Yuan. Ever since those people offered him a bizarre collection of organs yesterday, he’d turned into this grotesque form.

Shen Ji: “You’re saying Yao Yao wants to sleep with a man?”

Zhao Yuan nodded. “Of course! And she didn’t even plan to use it on you. Hahaha, she’s clearly moving on to someo—”

With a loud crack, Zhao Yuan’s head was crushed under the foot of the person who dropped down on him.

Shen Ji withdrew his foot and walked over to Xiao Bai, where a puddle of water lay on the floor. He stepped into it, treating it as if he were washing off his shoes.

On the ground, Zhao Yuan fumbled around to gather the pieces of his shattered head, while Xiao Hong, clutching her nearly-detached head, looked on sympathetically.

Shen Ji said confidently, “Yao Yao’s heart is all mine. She could never like anyone else.”

Then, thoughtfully stroking his chin, he added, “Maybe I should just kill all the men in this school.”

Ultimately, he must really lack confidence!

Xiao Hong, trembling, whispered, “I-I think she’s not the type to lose interest in someone so quickly.”

Shen Ji’s face lit up with a bright smile. “Of course not! Yao Yao is entirely devoted to me—I can feel it. After all, her heart is right here with me!”

Xiao Bai stopped leaking water.

Xiao Hong’s head finally dropped to the floor.

Even Zhao Yuan’s hands, which were busy reassembling his head, froze.

A moment later, Shen Ji looked puzzled again. “But why won’t Yao Yao do…the things that need contraceptives with me? I even washed every single one of my bones clean last night.”

The ghosts: You took her heart and wonder why she won’t sleep with you? You’re seriously messed up!

Just then, an alarm started ringing from the phone in Shen Ji’s pocket. His expression immediately turned sullen. Glancing at the ghosts in the corner, he lazily said, “I need to go memorize my multiplication tables. Keep an eye on things for me. If anyone dares make a move on my girlfriend, snap their head off.”

He left the damp, dark room.

The ghosts finally let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Hong retrieved her head, though she reattached it backward. Trembling, she muttered, “He’s terrifying.”

Xiao Bai gurgled, thinking back to when Bai Yao had mocked her for being ugly and bald. She added with feeling, “Anyone who can date him must be even scarier.”

Meanwhile, after the third period, the classroom grew lively.

Bu Zhongyao and Xuan Yuanmo came to thank Bai Yao. After following her unconventional method to perform a ritual for Zhao Yuan the night before, they hadn’t had any nightmares!

Xuan Yuanmo just said a cool “Thanks,” while Bu Zhongyao was much more emotional, holding Bai Yao’s hands and calling her “good sister” with heartfelt gratitude.

Xuan Yuanmo was already the male god in the hearts of many girls, while Bu Zhongyao was also popular among the boys. As the two of them stood beside Bai Yao’s desk, everyone in the class couldn’t help but look over.

Someone couldn’t help but say, “Bai Yao’s charm is truly something.”

The school grass who rarely associated with anyone was suddenly hovering around her. Even a Mary Sue wouldn’t have this level of popularity.

Lu Zhizhi, sitting in the back, glanced at the group, then looked away and resumed texting.

Bai Yao asked, “What about Gu Yue?”

Earlier, Gu Yue had insisted he was cursed, saying he was extremely frightened and claiming that he’d certainly die on the seventh day—and tomorrow was that seventh day. Originally, their group had planned to help Gu Yue deal with his trouble today, but he hadn’t shown up, which was rather strange.

Bu Zhongyao chuckled, “He said he’s already found a solution, so there’s no need to trouble us. I think he was just spooked from watching horror movies. To build up his courage, he even invited me to go see a scary movie with him today!”
