Chapter 29

"Stop spouting nonsense! Don't make me so emotional, let's go together!"

Without exaggeration, Xia Tianqi was truly moved by Leng Yue's actions, despite it being just a brief moment.

But very soon, Leng Yue doused him with a bucket of cold water:

"If you can find a way to open the door."

"Find a way to open the door myself?" Xia Tianqi was taken aback at first, then burst into a rage, cursing: "Are you kidding me! What's the difference between the two of us going up to fight the ghost and you getting taken out, leaving me to be next!"

Xia Tianqi was driven mad by Leng Yue's despicable behavior. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the red-clothed ghost posing a major threat, he would have definitely rushed over to fight Leng Yue to the death at this moment.

He was determined to kill this despicable person.

On Leng Yue's side, he appeared very calm, muttering incessantly, as if he had already made up his mind to fight the red-clothed ghost to the death.

At this moment, his composure formed a stark contrast to Xia Tianqi's anxiety.

"Umm... nimo... nee... ci... yi..."

As Leng Yue's muttering quickened, a red blade began to form on the wooden sword in his hand, which originally had no blade. It looked like a laser sword, even peculiar.

However, this process seemed to be no easy task for Leng Yue. His already pale face turned even paler, almost devoid of any color.

And just as Leng Yue was ready, the red-clothed female ghost could no longer contain her murderous intent and suddenly transformed into a series of ethereal red shadows, rushing over!

The red-clothed ghost's speed was as fast as light. Xia Tianqi didn't even see clearly when her sharp claws had already pierced through Leng Yue's shoulder.

"Ah—!"

Blood splattered, and Leng Yue let out a painful cry, but his hand did not stop. As the blood-red blade shimmered, the red-clothed ghost's arm was severed.

"Roar—!"

With one strike, Leng Yue cut off the red-clothed ghost's arm, emitting a fierce aura. Ignoring his injured shoulder, he took the initiative and swung his sword at the red-clothed ghost.

The red-clothed ghost, having lost an arm, also went into a frenzy, her angry howls deafening.

For a moment, the battle between the human and the ghost was intense and indistinguishable.

During this time, Xia Tianqi felt like an orphan abandoned by the world, hiding in the corner by the door, trembling and helpless, watching Leng Yue and the red-clothed ghost fight.

"No! I can't stay like this anymore!"

Xia Tianqi felt that only useless people would cower in fear, placing all their hopes on others, letting others control their fate.

"I have to find a way to escape from here!"

Although Leng Yue and the red-clothed ghost were locked in a fierce battle, neither could gain the upper hand in the short term. However, the red-clothed ghost didn't need physical strength to sustain itself, whereas Leng Yue did. Not only did he need physical strength, but his magical power was also limited.

If they couldn't decide the outcome in a short time, the end would surely be death.

So, it wasn't that Leng Yue was fighting to protect him, but rather that Leng Yue was fighting to buy him time.

Because Xia Tianqi was the ace who could turn the tide!

Although this self-encouragement was very narcissistic, it had a surprisingly significant effect. He felt a surge of determination throughout his body, and the fear that had once gripped his heart was completely dispelled.

After calming down, the first thing Xia Tianqi did was to kick the bathroom door hard again, but the result was obvious—the bathroom door remained immovable.

"What the hell, they are fighting so intensely over there, could the red-clothed ghost still have the energy to control this door?"

Xia Tianqi thought about it, then, not believing in evil, he patted the door with his hand. But in the process, he suddenly remembered something, and his body stiffened.

"Right! There isn't just one ghost in this building, there's another one, and I almost forgot about it!"

Thinking about the other ghost that hadn't appeared, Xia Tianqi had a rough idea of why they were trapped here.

It wasn't the red-clothed ghost that had trapped them, but the other one.

A ghost with the ability to possess and confuse.

In simple terms, they thought they were in the bathroom on the 4th floor, but the reality might be different.

They were likely in another environment.

The scene they were currently experiencing was probably an illusion created by the other ghost to confuse them!

Realizing this, Xia Tianqi immediately took action.

He thought that no matter where the real scene was, it would definitely be within the dormitory building.

And as long as they were in the dormitory building, there must be an exit.

Although their vision was deceived by the ghost, it didn't mean their sense of touch and feeling were also lost. As long as he was careful and given enough time, finding the exit wouldn't be difficult.

Thinking this, he immediately took action. However, before he acted, Xia Tianqi glanced at Leng Yue, and this glance made his heart sink.

Leng Yue, who was fighting the red-clothed female ghost, was already showing signs of fatigue. Besides the initial injury to his left shoulder, his abdomen and arms were also torn by the ghost's claws.

What was most critical was that his magical power seemed to be almost depleted, as the laser-like blade had become somewhat ethereal, far from the solid feel it had before.

"I know how we can escape, but you have to hold on!"

Although Leng Yue was a despicable person in Xia Tianqi's eyes, they were now in the same boat, so encouragement and reminders were still necessary.

Shouting these words to the struggling Leng Yue, Xia Tianqi wasted no time, spreading his hands and quickly feeling along the wall.

After a short while, he confirmed his earlier hypothesis, discovering that this was indeed an illusion designed to confuse them.

Because where the wall should have been, his arm could penetrate, and where there seemed to be nothing, it could suddenly block his path.

This discovery boosted Xia Tianqi's confidence, and he searched even more diligently.

Time was also rapidly passing as the footsteps of death approached.
