My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 69

Seeing the sharp blade dropping towards her, Yue Yiyue grew cautious. It wasn’t because of the small monster in front of her, but because she seemed to hear a gurgling sound near her ear, like something boiling in a pot, or perhaps something rushing towards her location.

Could there be another strange thing coming…

But the current situation prevented Yue Yiyue from worrying about that.

She tilted her head, and the sharp blade grazed her cheek before landing behind her. Yue Yiyue seized the opportunity to lift her hand and knock the weapon out of the opponent’s grip. Her other hand caught the blade mid-air and, reversing her hold, stabbed it into the computer-headed creature’s body.

However, blood from her cheek dripped down due to gravity, leaving a stain on her white turtleneck sweater.

Yue Yiyue looked down at the sweater, now marked with bright red blood, then touched her wound. Annoyance flashed in her eyes: “Tsk… I’m asking you people, how long are you going to keep this up?”

The computer-head standing by the door tilted its head in confusion. Afraid Yue Yiyue couldn’t see clearly, it enlarged the image on its screen slightly.

Following a static electrical hum, its emotionless voice spoke: “If you are willing to come with us, this can end now.”

“After all, you are just a—”

“Gu Nanqiu handles all the laundry at home,” Yue Yiyue said, lifting the corner of her stained clothing, cutting off the creature’s irritating words. “If I make it too dirty, she’ll find it very troublesome.”

She picked up the sword at her feet and hurled it at the bewildered computer-head standing by the door.

A crisp sound of a screen shattering echoed, and Yue Yiyue looked at the fragmented computer head. “It’s more convenient to reincarnate than to be purged.”

“Go in peace. Next life, enjoy weekends off.”

With the core monster destroyed, the remaining creatures lost control. The screens flashed blue for a moment before turning black, and the monsters collapsed in place.

The red door flickered twice before Yue Yiyue’s eyes and then vanished.

The immediate crisis was over. Yue Yiyue watched as the sculptures returned to their original positions, continuing their silent vigil.

Yue Yiyue did not miss the mocking, smiling expression the computer-head wore before it disappeared.

Seeing that sneering look, Yue Yiyue pondered for a moment and concluded the smile was essentially the creature’s clone taunting her for being so easily dealt with.

Having figured it out, Yue Yiyue rubbed her face, feeling frustrated. Ugh, how should I explain this to Gu Nanqiu later?

Should I ask this sculpture museum for compensation?

No, I shouldn’t be asking the museum for compensation, but rather the building opposite.

Frustrating…

Yue Yiyue stayed in place for a while longer, and when she didn’t hear the gurgling sound from earlier, she let out a sigh of relief.

She pulled out her phone, but Gu Nanqiu had not replied.

She dialed her number…

No one answered…

This made her even more annoyed.

It was then that Yue Yiyue suddenly realized the true meaning of the earlier taunt!

A feint to lure the tiger from its lair. Their real target was Gu Nanqiu. Yue Yiyue subconsciously pressed her tongue against her teeth, standing still and frowning in thought.

Is the owner here really this weak? Someone broke into the building and kidnapped a person, and they’re indifferent? Yue Yiyue felt she was close to being exasperated to the point of laughter. She scanned her surroundings, drew the sharp sword from the hand of the ‘God of War’ sculpture, and gripped it.

“Dong—dong—dong—dong.” The sound of high heels echoed on the ground in the small exhibition hall.

A shadow preceded the person around the corner. Yue Yiyue watched the swaying figure, rolled up her sleeve, and walked forward proactively: “Hello, my friend is missing. Can you take me to find her?”

The staff member, dressed in a long dress and high heels, walking with a pronounced wobble, paused before changing direction. The face was heavily powdered white, and the lips were a shocking crimson. One could sense the uncanny ‘fake-person’ quality of this thing no matter what.

Yue Yiyue sighed in her heart, This job must be really hard.

Following the staff member deep into the corridor, Yue Yiyue grew calmer and calmer.

The staff member leading the way, however, felt a chill running down her back.

This shouldn’t be… The person behind me… No…

Around another corner, a thick carpet appeared before them, and Yue Yiyue stopped walking.

In no time, a pair of running shoes landed at the staff member’s feet: “I can’t help with the clothes, but you can put on these shoes.”

Staring at the other party’s slightly red and swollen ankle, Yue Yiyue commanded: “Change into them.”

The commanding tone made the staff member subconsciously stop walking.

She kicked off the high heels at her feet with a look of confusion: “…Thank you.”

…

“I… Could you wait to kill me later?” Staring at the slightly small shoes, the creature’s murky eyes slowly regained clarity, as if it had just woken up from a nightmare.

“I accepted some things out of greed, but I failed in the game. I can’t go back to the past. The moment I kicked off the shoes, I finally remembered… I used to be human?”

“Right?” She pulled at the clothes on her body helplessly. They were quite uncomfortable to wear. She had actually liked them at first, but in this kind of situation, they were completely a burden.

The ill-fitting, abnormally tight dress made it impossible for her to move her legs. They had said there would be no chasing, yet monsters had surged from all directions in the end.

Coupled with these shoes that were extra prone to causing sprains, she was utterly stupid.

The person who had first given her this outfit in this location never intended for her to leave. She had actually been secretly pleased at the time, thinking she had gained a small piece of intelligence.

Afterward, she was essentially brainwashed, refusing to discard the shoes or tear off the inappropriate dress…

No… Someone in her memory had reminded her.

That person was also a youth, just like the one in front of her, but a bit more high-spirited and a bit crazier.

That person had once tried to help her, but by then, her mutation was already 90% complete.

As past memories slowly awakened, she spun around in place: “At first, I actually felt happy, accepting their rules, living in a muddle here.”

“I can’t go back…”

She suddenly stopped her movement, rooted to the spot. The appearance of the person in front of her overlapped with the person in her memory. The fragmented memories pieced together in this instant, and she stood still, her pale face revealing a somewhat horrific smile: “What have I… done?”

“What have I done?”

As she questioned herself repeatedly, Yue Yiyue sensed something about to strike from not far away.

Perceiving the creature’s intention, a rule suddenly flashed through Yue Yiyue’s mind—Only by being killed by another person can one be reincarnated as a human; otherwise, they will become discarded waste, thrown to the lowest level…

The monster blinked, its mouth opening and closing, before it was pulled away by something—

Yue Yiyue lunged forward. Her sharp dagger sliced through the thin line, shielding the monster behind her.

The twisted expression from earlier, the look of horror, was gone. The creature screamed: “I’m not completely dead yet!!! I don’t want to become discarded waste!!!”

…Yue Yiyue looked down at the monster’s astonished expression.

The red door and staff members in different outfits appeared again. Yue Yiyue figured the next one should be a statue whose eyes were damaged.

Reeling in the rope and walking further inside, Yue Yiyue was in a bad mood.

She could even be described as anxious.

Every corner of her mind was occupied by Gu Nanqiu. She wanted to find her quickly, touch her quickly, hold her quickly, and feel her body temperature. Only then could she feel less agitated.

But the monster beside her seemed oblivious to the feelings of others.

It was rambling incessantly about how it had fallen to this state and how Yue Yiyue’s recent strike had given it a chance to live again.

As Yue Yiyue listened, her attention was drawn to a nearby restroom.

She pushed the monster inside and found a set of clothes in the utility closet: “Go change.”

The monster looked down at the constraints on its body: “I can’t take it off. This is a debuff. When that dead man gave it to me, he never intended for me to leave here alive.”

“But guess what? After I mutated, I tore him to shreds. At the time, there was another person he had deceived next to him. The last thing I remember is pushing her out. I wonder if she’s still alive?”

“But it feels a bit difficult, huh.”

Yue Yiyue handed over the dagger: “Want to try?”

She froze for a moment. It was a scene so similar to before, except back then, her heart was already dead.

“Try, I’ll just try.” She stuttered, then added: “If it doesn’t work, you’re not allowed to scold me, okay?”

Taking the nimble dagger from Yue Yiyue’s hand: “Aren’t you worried I’ll turn around and slash you instead?”

She muttered as she walked inside: “Hey, if you hear anything wrong, remember to come in and save me. I can lead the way for you, you know? I’ve been living here for many years.”

“To make myself useful, I’m telling you, this museum actually links this place and that building over there. The curator arranged many statues to guard this place, but they’re almost completely destroyed.”

“As long as this area is completely devoured, the madman in that skyscraper will go capture the Muse he’s been obsessed with since seeing her once.”

“Don’t mind me being talkative, okay? It’s just that I haven’t spoken to a human for too long. After I took off those shoes, I discovered I had the ability to speak and remembered I was human.”

Screeeech—

The sound of fabric tearing was instantly followed by a delighted voice: “I can!!!”

“I can do it!!!”

“Yiyue! I succeeded!!!”

Yue Yiyue, who had been patiently waiting outside, counting the squares on the paper towel, was startled to suddenly hear her name.

“Oh, sorry, I’m too excited. Calling you that might make your friend unhappy. I’ll try again. Yue Yiyue, you really are! It’s a miracle just to see you! No wonder I often hear your name in the safe zone! Wuwuwu, I just wonder if I can be human again?”

“If I get another chance this time, I swear I’ll train properly.”

Yue Yiyue subtly pieced the words together. Did I also participate in something like this before?

The monster, having changed clothes, rushed out joyfully: “Yue Yiyue!!! Look, it fits perfectly!”

The clothes she found were a dress with a very wide skirt. The moment she walked out, Yue Yiyue saw the creature’s strong, powerful legs, looking like a good candidate for long-distance running.

With just one glance, Yue Yiyue understood why that person had tricked her into wearing the previous restrictive clothing.

“Congratulations, the brainwashing has been lifted.” Yue Yiyue tried to speak vaguely, so the other person couldn’t tell that she didn’t recognize her at all: “What are your plans now? Stay here to help others, or…?”

“Mhm mhm mhm, if I can return to the safe zone, I want to find a forensic doctor to see if I can be treated.”

She slapped her head as she said this: “Only, you probably don’t recognize me at all, right? After all, I’ve been trapped here for decades.”

“My name is Yu An. We met in the residential complex of the Gluttony-initiated kill-or-be-killed instance. That time, you and your close friend led us in fighting our way out. We met again later, but by then, my mutation had reached 90%. I eventually became a monster wandering in the Greed-initiated instance treasure chest, and after four substitutions, I came to this world.”

Yue Yiyue calmly recorded the information: “Then do you know where Gu Nanqiu is now? Is she safe?”

After saying this, Yue Yiyue was momentarily stunned. Why did I so naturally assume that the person Yu An was talking about was Gu Nanqiu?
