CHAPTER 69

Chapter 69: Dreamy Resort Villa

Tonight at the Dreamy Resort Villa, night fell unusually early and was particularly dark. Players had to use illuminating items to see the path ahead as they walked through the estate.

Pan Mao glanced down at his phone screen, his pace steady as he kept up with the group of players.

He shared the situation with everyone: "The Shi family villa has collapsed, and the players there said they'd continue searching inside."

"But in that condition, it's unlikely any living beings could survive."

This meant that non-human entities from the Shi family villa no longer needed to be counted in the clue tasks.

Pan Mao looked at Chen Lehe, who was silent beside him.

Chen Lehe let out a bitter smile. "The items and clues I obtained from the last instance only told me that the 'Dreamy Resort Villa' instance could bring back the deceased. If I enter this instance, there's a chance I could find my sister, but I really don't know any other details."

After saying this, he glanced at the girl who was numbly following beside him.

Chen Lehe's sidekick was a girl who bore a resemblance to him—none other than Chen Leai, who had gone berserk at the player base earlier.

As a product of the Shrine of Rebirth, Chen Leai, like other resurrected beings, struggled to suppress her desire for bloodshed before truly becoming human again.

She needed to either personally kill her blood relatives as a sacrifice or reach a sufficient number of kills.

Just moments ago, Chen Leai had attacked a player and even her brother, Chen Lehe. If Pan Mao hadn't reacted quickly and used an item to restrain her, Chen Lehe might have already been dead.

Fu Yanghui gently reminded him, "She is no longer your sister and cannot return."

Chen Lehe raised his hand in despair, touching the bruise around his neck, and turned to glance at his sister, who had finally quieted down after being restrained by the item.

The reason he hadn't revealed any information about the Shrine of Rebirth or his sister's existence after entering the instance was that he already knew part of the rules: 

If the resurrected being is killed or their identity is revealed—such as being called out directly and realizing that they are actually dead—they cannot leave the instance, no matter if the conditions for their return are met. They can only exist in this instance as a confused NPC.

Not being able to leave the instance is no different from being dead.

Therefore, even after gathering a certain amount of information and knowing the truth about the sacrifices required for the shrine, Chen Lehe was reluctant for other players to catch on too quickly—

the fewer people who knew the truth, the safer his sister would be.

However, Chen Lehe was unaware that for the resurrected being to return to normal, a life must be exchanged for a life.

He looked at his sister, who was devoid of reason and occasionally displayed a fierce expression. Strangely, there was no disappointment or regret on Chen Lehe's face; instead, he smiled.

It was like the first time he brought his sister to see him learn to walk.

"Thank you, Brother Fu. I know I've caused you all trouble."

Pan Mao, however, didn't share Fu Yanghui's good temperament. He snapped irritably, "Don't you know where your sister came from? No more details?"

Chen Lehe shook his head. "I only know it might be related to the coffin. Remember when we saw the coffin on the way down the mountain? I accidentally opened one..."
