This NPC Really Is Suspicious

Every game that makes players want to tear their hair out has an unreliable NPC. In this horror game, which is still in beta, Lu Ren is the NPC whose style doesn't fit in at all. When the weak, pitiful, helpless players are cornered by a vicious and terrifying boss, he suddenly pushes open the door-- Lu Ren: When you're done, remember to mop the floor. You leave blood everywhere every time, and it's such a pain to clean up. Players: ... Boss: ... Bai Zhu: I have something to tell you... (swallows) You mustn't be scared. Doctor: I'm a psychiatrist. I won't be scared. Go ahead. Bai Zhu: I just fell in love with an NPC in a horror game! (Deeply impressed) (Leans back tactically) Doctor: Well, Mr. Bai, your condition is actually very common. Bai Zhu: (sits up straight) It's common? Doctor: To tell you the truth, (suddenly lowers his voice) I have three waifu characters myself. An easygoing, absent-minded, and unconventional NPC gong x a player shou who's hopeless at games but has money to spare. Lu Ren is the gong, Bai Zhu is the shou. The shou wears women's outfits in a few dungeons, like playing a female character in a game. A full-dive horror game story. But it's not scary at all.

Judge B: Seconded. Judge C: My place would be perfect. ) Mu Sheng: Forget him. I'll make you a doll to keep you. One of the people involved-- Zuo Shihan: "... ?" So we'd already broken up? When people die, they become ghosts. Those with deep obsessions linger in the living world, where boundary stones turn into ghostly ruins. Judges of the Netherworld and seal masters of the mortal realm: the former are ghost immortals, the latter cultivators. They are tasked with destroying ghostly ruins and setting the cycle of reincarnation right. Zhu Rao thought the ghost he had seen was just an ordinary young spirit, but he never imagined that he was actually the most mysterious of the judges: a doll-maker. "Obsession is the only reason a ghost remains in this world." Zuo Shihan carefully carved a doll and spoke softly. "When the obsession disappears, so does the ghost." "What's your obsession?" Zhu Rao asked. Zuo Shihan didn't answer. Zhu Rao thought, When I die, you will be my only obsession. CP: Zuo Shihan x Zhu Rao A well-behaved, expressionless beauty gong x a formerly flirtatious shou who becomes a loyal dog right from the start. A supernatural story, not quite a strict episodic series. Theme: This world is imperfect, with both good and evil, but everyone can choose to hold on to kindness and not let their evil side become who they are.
