I Became a God in a Horror Game

The head seemed to notice the gazes of Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng. It turned around very slowly, coming face to face with Mu Sicheng who was standing next to it.

Mu Sicheng covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from screaming.

The head was white as snow, its features strangely connected into one piece, like the rough outline of a plaster sculpture. Only some vague indentations and protrusions could be seen on the face, but no distinct facial features such as eyes, ears, nose or mouth.

Just when Mu Sicheng thought that this thing had no eyes, nose or mouth, a bloody cut appeared at the mouth of the head, as if someone had cut it with a knife. The cut went all the way behind the ear, revealing sharp fangs inside. A strong bloody and foul smell hit his face.

It stretched out its barbed tongue as if preparing to lick Mu Sicheng.

Bai Liu quickly pulled Mu Sicheng back and hid under the bed, preventing the thing from licking his head.

The thing tilted its head and slowly crawled down from under the bed, revealing its body with four limbs growing on an extremely twisted, wavy spine. It crawled outside the bed, and with its face, which had no facial features but only a mouth, it tilted its head and quietly looked at the two people huddled in the corner under the bed.

Mu Sicheng tightly grasped Bai Liu’s hand, he was so scared that he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

“This thing has no eyes, nose or ears.” Mu Sicheng whispered to Bai Liu in a very low voice, almost a whisper, “Can it find us? We can sneak around later…”

Bai Liu did not answer Mu Sicheng’s words but stared at the head without facial features. He slowly reached out and picked up a small stone from under the bed, raised his hand and threw it out, hitting the thing in the face.

The thing outside the bed suddenly opened its eye, its eye sockets splitting open like gaping mouths, revealing two bloody slits. Its eyeballs rolled around inside them, before fixing straight on Bai Liu beneath the bed.

Mu Sicheng was almost scared to death, “What are you doing?!”

Bai Liu said calmly, “Proving to you that it has eyes — it’s not very likely for you to be able to sneak away in front of it.”

“This thing is a kind of ghost.”

Mu Sicheng looked at the thing outside in horror, “A ghost?”

Bai Liu explained calmly, “Have you heard the story of being an accomplice to a tiger? To put it simply, a person who is killed by a certain creature becomes a ghost, but will help the creature find prey.”

“So many people have drowned in Yinshan Village. These drowned people will turn into water ghosts, and the water ghosts will look for substitutes.”

“Normally, water ghosts will be reincarnated after finding a substitute, but the water ghosts in Yinshan Village cannot be reincarnated even if they find a substitute. They are still trapped here. As a result, these water ghosts cannot become human no matter how many people they kill and eat. Those whose substitutes are eaten by water ghosts will also become ghosts. People who are alive will be afraid of the people who killed them, and ghosts who died will be afraid of the ghosts who killed them when they were alive. Therefore, these ghosts will be driven by water ghosts.”

“Those who eat people but are not human are called tigers, and those who assist the tiger after death become ghosts who are called accomplices.”

“I suspect this thing was an innocent passerby captured by the water ghosts who turned into a ghost after the death of the people in Yinshan Village and used as a substitute, turning into a ghost.”

Bai Liu looked at the thing outside the bed, “When the passers-by die and forget their human form, they will become neither human nor ghost. But when they are accomplices of the tiger, they need to pretend to be human to lure passersby into the mountains, so these accomplices will imitate human beings, like now.”

The twisted humanoid monster outside the bed suddenly contorted its neck and moved the moment it opened its eyes and saw the two people under the bed. Its twisted spine made a creaking sound, and its twisted limbs straightened out. It slowly stood up while deforming itself.

Mu Sicheng could only see a pair of bent calves slowly changing from being turned outward to being turned inward, turning into a pair of normal calves. Its toes turned from facing away from the bed to facing them, gently standing on tiptoe, leaving behind the triangular footprints with only the forefoot that Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu had seen outside the house.

A pair of pale hands gently grasped the edge of the bed, and a smiling woman’s face bent over, appearing from under the bed. She waved to Mu Sicheng under the bed tenderly and amiably, with an eerie smile on her face. “Come out.”

“Why are you hiding under the bed when you’re a guest at my house? Come out.”

The woman had a normal face with all the right facial features. Her voice was very friendly as if she was an ordinary woman who was genuinely welcoming her neighbors. The strange thing was that her eyes had only whites.

Mu Sicheng got goosebumps. “It transformed from a ghost into a human right in front of me to trick me! Why does it think I would be fooled?”

“Maybe they think you’re not very smart and easily fooled,” Bai Liu said.

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu speechlessly, “How do you know she is a ghost?”

Bai Liu replied, “It is recorded in the Maoshan Sorcery Manuscript.”

Mu Sicheng also felt something was wrong now. He glanced at the ghost outside the bed that had not come in, and asked curiously, “How do you know she won’t go under the bed? She crawled out from under the bed.”

“Because I saw this.” Bai Liu moved aside to let Mu Sicheng look behind him.

A collapsed earth hole under the bed was revealed, which was roughly big enough for an adult to enter and exit. Next to it was a folded plastic coordinate with [7] written on it and [Left by the Archaeological Team of xxx University] written on the bottom.

Mu Sicheng looked at the hole in astonishment, “What is this?”

Bai Liu held up the coordinates and looked into the dark and gloomy pit, “This should be one of the coordinate points where the archaeological team excavated the ancient tomb. The tomb is below.”

The woman outside the bed was still walking back and forth on tiptoe, bending down from time to time to look at them with her empty eyes yet she never came under.

Bai Liu looked outside the bed, “This ghost should have crawled out of this hole, which means the tiger it feeds lives inside. Ghosts are generally afraid of tigers, so they dare not come in.”

“So, we are already in the tiger’s mouth!” Mu Sicheng wanted to cry but had no tears, “We are already in the tiger’s mouth, there is no need for her to catch us!”

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze, lay down, and prepared to enter the pit.

Mu Sicheng held Bai Liu’s shoulders tightly. He looked at the dark pit. The stale smell coming out of it made him shiver. “…Do you really intend on going down?”

Bai Liu turned around and saw Mu Sicheng huddled up in fear. He patted his shoulder in a reassuring manner and said, “If you are really scared, you can go over there.”

Bai Liu pointed outside the bed. The woman just happened to be looking down at them. She had a strange inhuman smile on her face, and her voice was soft, “Come out and be my guest, little brother.”

Mu Sicheng: “…”

Mu Sicheng followed Bai Liu into the pit with tears in his eyes.

The pit was very narrow. While a skinny person like Bai Liu could slowly pass through by supporting himself with his elbows, a big person like Mu Sicheng could only roll and wriggle his way inside.

The further he moved, the more dead and desolate Mu Sicheng’s face looked.

This passage was way too small. If something happens in the tomb later, he won’t be able to escape and will be stuck in this passage!

Bai Liu held up a flashlight and shone it inside. The corridor extending into the pit seemed to have no bottom. Mu Sicheng felt that they had been crawling inside for a while yet there was no obvious change in the surroundings except that it became increasingly humid and a little more spacious.

“Mu Sicheng.” Bai Liu, who was crawling in front, turned around and said, “You go ahead. My phone is running low on battery. I’ll need some light when we get out later. Let’s use the night mode on your camera to explore the way.”

The passage was now wide enough for Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng to pass through.

Mu Sicheng shuddered when he turned on the night mode and aimed it at the depths of the tunnel.

The camera’s night mode produced a fluorescent green screen. When all the dark and unknown things around him were captured on a small green screen, Mu Sicheng felt even more unsettled for some reason.

Mu Sicheng asked in a trembling voice, “Bai Liu, how long have we been crawling?”

Bai Liu glanced at his phone and said, “It’s been almost an hour. It’s past ten now. We need to get out quickly, otherwise it will be more dangerous when it gets dark.”

Mu Sicheng was frightened, and muttered quietly, “Are normal archaeological corridors this long….?”

But even though he was muttering, because he didn’t want to face the evil spirit outside the bed, Mu Sicheng braced himself and went forward with his camera in hand. He stared at the scene in the camera and suddenly paused.

“Bai Liu…” Mu Sicheng turned his head stiffly, “The passage just moved.”

On the green screen of the camera, Mu Sicheng clearly saw the passage swaying left and right as if something was crawling on both sides.

Bai Liu was unmoved, “Yeah, I saw it earlier.”

After Mu Sicheng realized that Bai Liu didn’t take this change seriously at all, he continued to crawl inside heartbroken.

The passage in the camera was shaking more and more frequently. Mu Sicheng could feel that the things crawling around were getting closer and closer to them. He could even hear the sounds.

Thump thump thump… Thump thump thump…

Mu Sicheng was familiar with this sound. He had just heard it last night. It was the sound of someone pounding on the coffin lid inside the coffin.

The width of the passage was now wide enough for Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng to crawl side by side. Bai Liu glanced at the camera held by Mu Sicheng, then suddenly covered Mu Sicheng’s mouth and nose, turning them to one side of the passage.

Bai Liu warned coldly, “Don’t move, something is crawling out.”

Mu Sicheng was like an ice sculpture, holding the camera motionlessly.

From afar, there was a rustling sound of someone digging the soil with their hands and feet. Mu Sicheng held his breath and held up the screen. He stared at the green screen. Suddenly, in the darkness, an arm with the palm and back of the hand completely reversed appeared and stretched into the camera screen.

A face with unclear facial features appeared in the camera. The head was tilted at a strange angle, the spine was on the belly, and the back was soft flesh. It swayed as it crawled, with its knees completely bent inward, and it crawled past him in a posture that Mu Sicheng was completely unable to describe in words.

When Mu Sicheng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief after the evil spirit had completely passed by, his pupils suddenly shrank.

This evil ghost was dragging a coffin behind him!

The coffin was dragged out by the ghost, and a constant “thump thump thump, thump thump thump” sound came from inside.

The moment they passed by Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng, the thumping sound suddenly stopped.
