The Ghost Game Chapter 7

Of course, I never told anyone about this.

I step forward and wipe the tears from Sarah's face.

"I know. The boss was having an affair. If I were you, I'd do the same thing."

As they say, people die for wealth, birds die for food.

Besides, if you don't look out for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you.

The shock in Sarah's eyes flashes briefly before she falls into my arms, her tears soaking my shirt.

"Jake, you're so good.

We're kindred spirits. Thank you for understanding me."

She's meeting the VP today. I ask if she wants me to come along.

She refuses. I can only tell her to be careful.

Better to get some pepper spray or a stun gun, just in case.

That night, the Ghost Game automatically installs on my phone.

The game screen is similar to what Ryan's was, except the protagonist has changed.

The woman in the frame still has Sarah's face.

But the man is the VP.

Dead on the hotel bed, his manhood cut off with scissors and placed in his own hand.

At the end of the game screen, the woman's face turns sinister, smiling eerily, staring straight at me.

"Hehehehe... you're next!"

Son of a bitch!

Whatever psycho made this virus game, I don't believe in ghosts!

But thinking of Ryan's bizarre death, I'm worried Sarah might be in danger.

I quickly call her. Thank god she answers.

But she sounds panicked.

"The VP is dead! The VP is dead! He died right in front of me!"

I tell her to hang up and switch to a video call so I can assess the situation.

The VP asked her to meet at a sketchy motel.

Just like the scene that loaded in my phone game earlier!

Except in reality, the VP's manhood is still intact.

Sarah only wanted a project contract. The VP wanted more—he wanted to rape her.

In the struggle, she kicked him below the belt.

The VP lost his balance and the back of his head hit a wall sconce.

By chance, a piece came loose from the sconce, exposing a screw.

I tell Sarah to call the police. She can't run from this.

This counts as self-defense.

Sarah's face goes pale, nodding repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Then I head to the police station too.

After a night of evidence collection and investigation, plus the recording on Sarah's phone,

they confirm her actions were self-defense.

Moreover, after she realized the VP hit his head, her first call was to 911.

Only then did she call me.

The police ask why Sarah called me after the incident.

I have to come clean—I say I like Sarah and I'm pursuing her.

After all the paperwork is done, it's already morning.

I drive Sarah home, but she clutches my hand and asks me to go to the hotel up ahead.

Since she's being this direct, why pretend?

Breaking character halfway doesn't count as breaking character.

When we get to the hotel, the receptionist smiles and greets Sarah.

"Ms. Chen, back again? What style are you shooting today?"

I'm a bit surprised. Did I misjudge?

Does Sarah come to this hotel often? Is she actually not a virgin?
