Hell App (Web Novel CN)

Chu Fu’s way of handling things made Bai Yan reach a whole new level of respect for her. During the first level of the game, she was just sobbing her eyes out, and compared to before, she seemed like an entirely different person.

However, Chu Fu also knew fear.

And after she pulled open the freezer, she hesitated and didn’t do anything else.

Cai Yu, whose face showed that she wanted to go in the freezer badly, was standing on her tiptoes, so Chu Fu softly said, “Xiao Yu, promise sister that you won’t randomly touch things inside the freezer and just stand over here to look, okay?”

Cai Yu was always obedient and listened to her elder’s words, but after hearing what the sister had said, she violently shook her head like a drum-shaped rattle, “No, sister. Brother said that mommy is inside. I need to quickly pull mommy out and save her!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Fu’s eyes immediately became unsightly. The anger she couldn’t express through words was sent to Bai Yan through the daggers she cast through her eyes. Saying this to a mere child, wasn’t that sending her to a death sentence?

However, letting NPCs find their own path was the constant strategy used by all players. Even if she riskily snitched on Bai Yan in the forum, wasn’t the one observing the situation would also be her.

Chu Fu’s heart was filled with resentment, thinking in her heart that Bai Yan wasn’t playing around at all. He could even have the heart to turn his hand against this young child.

She never stopped Cai Yu.

And without Chu Fu’s obstruction, Cai Yu used both her hands to pull on the edge of the freezer, putting all of her energy into jumping and going inside the freezer.

After hopping in, Cai Yu’s little face couldn’t help but show a twinge of red since she knew that this was wrong.

She worriedly looked left and right and discovered that besides brother and sister, there weren’t any other people in their surroundings.

Knowing that no one else saw her stepping on and making the frozen treats dirty, which meant that no one would scold her, Cai Yu relaxed her breath and said in a soft tone, “Brother, sister, help me by keeping watch. If there’s a person, yell at me to come out.”

After saying this, Cai Yu began to use her small hands to flip over the contents of the freezer.

She started digging her way down the area, throwing the trampled on ice cream, popsicles, and other frozen treats to the side.

As her body also lowered inside the freezer, Cai Yu soon found a glistening object, her eyes twinkled in an instant——

What she was a pitch-black and wide opened eye!

As soon as Cai Yu turned her small melon-like head, she thought that she got something. ‘Yesterday, mommy disappeared here, then this eye must be mommy’s and can’t be anyone else’s.’

‘Mommy must’ve carelessly fallen into the freezer. No wonder I couldn’t find her anywhere yesterday!’

“Mommy!”

She couldn’t contain her emotions and yelled out. Her mouth couldn’t help but hook up into a sweet smile, exposing a shallow dimple.

‘Brother didn’t lie to me! Mommy was really buried under the ice cream!’

Almost immediately, Cai Yu began digging more vigorously. Despite her tiny yet freezing hands turning red from the chilliness, she continued to do her best, setting aside the ice cream sitting on top of the eye.

She had only stayed in the freezer for a short while before feeling the chill, then her mom would have suffered more.

“Mommy, I found you!”

A foot away from the freezer, Bai Yan leaned in closer when he heard Cai Yu’s shouts, taking in the whole scene happening in the freezer.

Inside the cool storage unit, Cai Yu was sitting on a pile of ice cream, her hands continuously taking out the ice cream from a hole.

And in the hole, it exposed a deathly pale woman.

The woman had her eyes open, looking like she died with a remaining grievance. Gleaming crystal ice shards laid on her hair, but what was weird was, a serene smile still hung on her face.

When she finally dug her mom out, Cai Yu was brimming with joy. She looked at her motionless mom, only showing a smile with her eyes, and assumed that there was still a lot of ice cream over her body, so her mom couldn’t get up.

Upon seeing this, she continued to work hard on digging. She set the frozen treats that laid on top of her mom behind her while turning her head to face Bai Yan and Chu Fu, showing them a grateful and sweet smile.

Seeing Cai Yu’s sweet smile, Bai Yan also flashed a smile back to her.

Bai Yan’s grin was indeed from the heart. He thought that this scene was fantastic, leading his heart to be filled with satisfaction and emotion.

It was the dawn of a new era of Cai Yu saving her mother, which was more interesting than lying on the ice. Moreover, Chu Fu had long since shut her mouth, giving him a momentarily peaceful atmosphere.

There was a small part of Bai Yan that didn’t want to look for the way out and wanted for Cai Yu to keep digging.

Except for the moment when Wang Ze died, his mind had grown unstable. He had since found a disagreeable person and was given away by Chu Fu in the forum.

Later on, along with the game getting more and more exciting, the agitation he felt in his heart had gradually settled down since he didn’t need to do anything specifically, but the game’s world would still manufacture tragedy after tragedy.

The game’s world in itself had a lot of jokes.

Cai Yu dug out a lot of ice creams, finally excavating out half of her mom’s body.

Seeing that her mom was still not moving, Cai Yu used her small tomato red hands to tug on her mom’s hand, trying to pull her up.

What made people amazed was that the woman’s corpse was unexpectedly pulled up.

She stiffly lifted her upper abdomen and held Cai Yu in a loving embrace.

As for Cai Yu, she nestled in the woman’s hold, sweetly smiling, as if only resting in her mom’s arms made her mind feel at ease and not be afraid of anything too.

Even if this was a horrible situation, the scene looked incredibly warm.

Seeing this, Chu Fu was deeply moved, mumbling to herself in a low voice, “Could it be that there were good ghosts in the game?”

Cai Yu smiled with happiness, so Chu Fu couldn’t bear to disturb this spectacle of a mother-daughter reunion.

Chu Fu originally believed that all ghosts couldn’t recognize their family, but seeing Cai Yu and her mother’s serene expressions and how the woman tightly held the girl, people would start to doubt if she were an evil spirit.

For a moment, Chu Fu didn’t know what to say. She stared at the woman’s corpse and Cai Yu in a dumbstruck manner, not knowing if she should pull Cai Yu free or just continue watching right now.

Like Chu Fu, Bai Yan also quietly watched this scene unfold.

However, seeing the smile on the female corpse’s mouth, he calmly took two steps back, trying to put some distance between the tightly hugging mother and daughter.

Cai Yu’s mother smiled in tranquility, but her grin became wide and wider, gradually turning itself into a cold one.

Before Chu Fu could react, the freezer’s glass door had suddenly closed all by itself. Shortly after a few seconds, the freezer door had been tightly shut.

Through the see-through glass, the mother and daughter, who were hugging each other tightly, seemed like human statues——

It was strange, weird, and also full of artistic sense.

A smile was maintained on Bai Yan’s face, and as the glass door was shut, the lingering gloom stuck in his brows had disappeared out of sight, making him look unexpectedly quiet.

However, this quiet expression only lasted for a moment.

Like the increasingly cold smile on the female corpse’s face, he also slowly drew back the corners of his mouth, having an uncanny resemblance to the malicious ghost.

“Mommy, should we get out?”

In the freezer, after being embraced for a long time, Cai Yu used her tiny ice-cold hands to pat her mom’s leg, trying to struggle free from her mom’s embrace. But, her mom still held her tightly, as if nothing could get her to let go.

“Mommy, this place is too cold. Let go of me and let’s go home.”

Cai Yu lifted her small face, wanting to tell her mom to let go, but upon meeting the female corpse in the eye, she saw that the female corpse had a shady and wretched smirk on her face.

Unlike the fearlessness she had when digging up the ice cream, when she saw this terrifying expression, Cai Yu trembled in fear as she started to do her best to struggle free.

“Mommy, let go of me!”

“Mommy, why is your smile so scary?”

“Mommy, why aren’t you talking?”

“Mommy…”

Cai Yu finally realized that something was wrong, so she used the ice cream surrounding her feet and desperately tried to scramble away from the female corpse’s grasp.

She looked to her side for help but only discovered that the freezer door had already been closed for who knows how long, trapping her inside the storage unit.

Cai Yu scaredly opened her mouth, wanting to call out for help, but the female corpse lifted its hand and quickly covered her mouth.

The female corpse hugged Cai Yu as it slowly lied back down, inch by inch.

Cai Yu’s eyes looked horrified. She turned her head and rigidly gazed beyond the glass, but not a single word could come out of her mouth.

When the female corpse had lain flat down, the small mountain of ice cream had abruptly toppled over, completely burying the two.

Cai Yu’s young body was quickly buried under the pile of ice cream with the female corpse, only exposing a tiny green shoe.

The child’s shoe was on top of the ice cream, slightly struggling. But soon, it stopped and trembled, resting above the frozen treats and peacefully leaning against them.

“Perfect.”

After watching from start to end, Bai Yan heaved a breath of relief.

The smile on his face dwindled into nothing as if he had just watched a shocking movie. His face was full of satisfaction from watching until the end.

Originally, he had wanted to look for a way to survive.

But seeing how Cai Yu vigorously dug through the frozen treats, he became fascinated and forgot about the matter at hand for a moment.

However, at first, he had intentions of saving the first person and just let him indulge himself, throwing himself into watching the app’s personally directed drama.

Anyway, there were still three people left, so he wasn’t worried.

Bai Yan swept a glance across the freezer. Since there were two people below, the ice cream appeared to be packed high, giving the freezer a fuller appearance.

After Cai Yu was completely buried inside the freezer, Chu Fu had then lifelessly responded, saying with a dry voice, “Ho-How could this be?”

‘Shouldn’t the female corpse die but still not forget her daughter? How could it be the same as the fierce ghost from her last game?’

Chu Fu, who witnessed the young girl’s tragic demise, felt her heart become especially upset.

She turned her head, wanting to ask some questions to Bai Yan, but she could only spit out the word ‘You’ and suddenly close her mouth.

‘That’s right! This guy was a nutcase. He could even ruthlessly turn his hand against the players, what more for a mere NPC?’

Chu Fu painfully swallowed back the questions she wanted to ask and instead, said, “Why didn’t you save her? What will happen to our task?”

“This one looked terribly fascinating, so I forgot. Aren’t you the same as me?” After watching this drama, Bai Yan’s mood was cheerful. He couldn’t be bothered about Chu Fu and just waved his hand, frankly saying, “Regarding this problem, shouldn’t we be concerned with ourselves first? Are you still going to eat your ice cream?”

Upon hearing what he said, Chu Fu immediately bowed her head to look at her shopping cart.

Before Cai Yu entered the freezer, she grabbed a small box of ice cream from another storage unit.

Now, she knew exactly what was buried at the bottom of the freezer.

This storage unit contained Cai Yu and her mom, but for the other freezers… they might not have something buried in them yet.

Thinking of this, Chu Fu’s face turned green as the sadness she felt from earlier had somewhat dissipated.

She didn’t dare get any closer to the freezer and also couldn’t look straight at the pile of ice cream. She pushed her shopping cart along and acted like someone who doesn’t have common sense, throwing the box of ice cream away to an unchilled place.

Chu Fu was pushing her cart forward when her stomach started gurgling, her stomach sending out waves of grumbling from time to time.

She suddenly felt hungry, very hungry.
