In the car, Qin Nuo asked, "Sis, where are we going to eat?"

  While driving, Qin Yushi made a thoughtful expression, "Let's go to that Westeraurant you used to love."

  "No, no... I don't like it anymore."

  Qin Nuo waved his hand in refusal.

  "Why? You used to always beg me to take you there," Qin Yushi asked.

  "I just don't like it now."

  Qin Nuo looked unfortable. Just hearing the word "restaurant" made him feel uneasy.

  A bit nauseous, even.

  "The's go to the grilled fish pce. I remember you liked grilled fish."

  "It's rare for you to e back, so let's eat well. Otherwise, you'll keep saying I don't care about you, my little brother!"

  "Don't you have csses at school?" Qin Nuo asked.

  Qin Yushi paused before saying, "When I heard you were forced into the Hame, I took a few days off. Don't worry about your sister."

  Qin Nuo nodded.

  But suddenly, the voice of the Blood-Eyed Ghost echoed in his mind, "Something's off with your sister."

  "What do you mean?"

  "There's a cursed aura around her," the Blood-Eyed Ghost said.

  Qin Nuo's expression ged slightly. He g Qin Yushi, who was humming a tune while driving, and asked, "Are you sure?"

  "Believe it or not."

  The Blood-Eyed Ghost gave a dismissive look and stopped responding.

  A curse?

  Is she haunted by a ghost, or what?

  Qin Nuo was filled with doubt.

  Qin Yushi noticed Qin Nuo's gaze and smiled, "Little rascal, why are you sneaking gnces? Surprised that your sister's gotteier?"

  "Yeah, I am." Qin Nuo nodded.

  "Not only have you not seen me for months, but you've also bee cheeky!" Qin Yushi was in a good mood. After w for seven days, seeing her lively brother finally put her mind at ease.

  They soon arrived at the grilled fish restaurant.

  The siblings got out of the car and reserved a table.

  "I'll go to the restroom first."

  "Also, a friend of mine will be joining us ter. I'll introduce you."

  "Boyfriend?" Qin Nuo asked.

  "No, a bestie. She's very pretty, so don't embarrass me by drooling over her!"

  With that, Qin Yushi left.

  Qin Nuo wasn't focused on the friend but was instead p the curse.

  He tried to activate the Eye of Analysis.

  But ba the real world, he realized that the ghost creatures and skills he acquired in the Horror World were unusable.

  Apparently, these things bee iive once brought out of the Horror World.

  "Are you Qin Nuo?"

  After a while, a crisp voice came.

  Before Qin Nuo could turn around, a long-haired woman sat in front of him.

  Her features were exquisite, as if meticulously crafted. Her hair flowed elegantly, aight-fitting clothes atuated her slender waist. As she sat, her curvaceous figure was evident.

  If his sister was the lively type, then this woman was the epitome of a dy.

  "And you are?"

  "My name is Wang Xun, a friend of your sister's. She often tells me about her unusual brother." Wang Xuended her hand.

  Qin Nuo quickly stood up and shook her delicate hand.

  Soft and smooth, like warm jade.

  "Oh, Little Xun, you got here so quickly?" Qin Yushi excimed as she returned from the restroom.

  "Let me introduce you to my..."

  "No need, we've already met."

  "And your brother is just as you described, quite the little flirt," Wang Xun ughed.

  Only then did Qin Nuo realize he was still holding her hand.

  Moreover, his thumb was gently rubbing the smooth back of her hand!

  Qin Nuo immediately withdrew his hand and awkwardly said, "Uh, the food's here. Let's sit a!"

  At the same time, Qin Nuo cursed the Blood-Eyed Ghost internally.

  His right hand's antics with Wang Xun were clearly the Blood-Eyed Ghost's doing!

  Qin Yushi ughed and gave Qin Nuo a secretive gre.

  This guy, she had just warned him.

  And now, he was already showing his true colors!

  Fortunately, Wang Xun didn't mind.

  After sitting down, she said, "When your cssmates were forced into the Horror World, it caused quite a stir over these seven days."

  Qin Nuo: "I know."

  Being forced into the Hame wasn't unon, but it was usually random seles from various pces.

  This was the first time aire bus of students was sent into the Hame due to an act.

  "Which sario were you in after entering the Hame, what was your role, and what was your task?" Wang Xun poured a gss of water and asked.

  Qin Nuo's expression turned odd.

  What was this?

  An interrogation?

  "Little Xun," Qin Yushi reminded.

  Wang Xun realized and patted her head, ughing, "Sorry, occupational habit. I fot we're at a friend's table."

  "What does Sister Wang Xun do?"

  "Wang Xun is a police officer, part of the iigation team."

  "And she's also a top-tier pyer, having participated in the Hame four times and received excellent ratings each time," Qin Yushi said, hugging her best friend's shoulder with a smile.

  "If you have any questions about the Hame, feel free to ask me," Wang Xun said.

  "Of course, for someoering the Hame for the first time without national proteeisms, those seven days must have been a time you'd rather not remember."

  "One might even call it a nightmare!"

  Wang Xun said with deep uanding.

  "It wasn't too bad."

  "I actually had a good time. The ghosts were quite friendly," Qin Nuo said.

  Wang Xun's face froze.

  A good time?

  Friendly?

  Is this newbie talk?

  When she first ehe Hame, even with proteeisms, every day felt like a nightmare!

  Let alohout any proteeisms!

  Qin Yushi said, "My brother said the ghosts were quite friendly, especially one kied ghost who often gave him food for free, afraid he'd go hungry."

  "Are we sure we're pying the same game?"

  Wang Xun was bewildered.

  She had questioned many who had ehe Hame.

  Some were so scared they developed severe mental issues.

  Even the less affected ones remairapped in a shadow of fear they couldn't shake off.

  Qin Nuo's refreshing take was a first for her!

  But soon, Wang Xun uood.

  He was lying.

  Perhaps to prevent his sister from w about him being traumatized.

  Or maybe to show off his manliness in front of a beautiful woman.

  In any case, Wang Xun didn't believe Qin Nuo.

  She didn't bother to expose him and said, "It's rare to see someoh such a good mi like yours."

  "Not being affected by the Hame is something to be happy about."

  "Right? Don't be fooled by my brother's usual unseriousness. He's really optimistic!" Qin Yushi ughed.

  "If you had the ce to ehe Hame again, would you choose to go?" Wang Xun asked.

  "I don't know." Qin Nuo shook his head.

  He pohis question too.

  After all, thanks to his Golden Finger, he received far more rewards than others.

  He even owned a private business in the Horror World now!

  And the game didn't seem that difficult.

  Moreover, future Hames would have national proteeisms!

  But for now, Qin Nuo wasn't in a hurry to sider this.

  He was more ed about why his sister had a curse on her.
