Chapter 31

Running all the way to the sixth floor, Xia Tianqi finally stopped for a brief rest. △↗

"Chill Moon? Chill God? Chill...?"

Xia Tianqi called out softly for a long time, but Chill Moon showed no reaction at all, as if he had only half a breath left.

"Damn, consider yourself lucky to have run into me; otherwise, anyone else would have left you here to be eaten by the ghosts!"

Without a doubt, Chill Moon had now become a burden to Xia Tianqi. Carrying him while fleeing was inconvenient and unsafe, not just for Chill Moon but for himself as well.

After all, he had no ability to deal with ghosts, so if the red-clothed ghost found them after breaking free, it would essentially be a death sentence for both him and Chill Moon.

So, it might be better for them to part ways now, to avoid being "packed" together by the red-clothed ghost. Additionally, this would increase their chances of survival.

Having made up his mind, Xia Tianqi no longer hesitated. After some effort, he carried Chill Moon and headed toward the dormitories at the far end of the floor.

When he arrived, he didn't immediately push the door open but hesitated for a moment outside a few dormitory doors before choosing one that looked appealing and entering.

The dormitory was relatively tidy, but a few very cute-patterned panties were hanging on the bed rail, either forgotten by the student or deliberately left there to dry.

"Looks like you weigh as much as a pig! You're killing me."

Carrying Chill Moon this far had already exhausted Xia Tianqi, so once inside the dormitory, he unceremoniously dropped Chill Moon on the floor.

As for himself, he plopped down on the hard bed, panting for breath.

But thinking about the threat from the red-clothed ghost, which could break free at any moment, he didn't dare rest for long. He quickly stood up and pushed and kicked Chill Moon under the bed to hide him.

To reduce Chill Moon's breathing sounds, he even placed the panties hanging on the rail over Chill Moon's face, turning him into a "panty superhero."

If the situation allowed, he would have taken a commemorative photo of Chill Moon with his phone.

After another uneasy check of the dormitory to ensure Chill Moon wouldn't be discovered as soon as the door opened, he left and returned to the stairwell.

Although the problem of hiding Chill Moon was solved, he still had no idea what to do next.

Should he find a dormitory to hide in on this floor?

Or go down?

Or continue up?

After a brief moment of thought, he decided that if the red-clothed ghost could break free, it would most likely search the lower floors, as they had left the impression of fleeing down the stairs.

Although this logic wasn't very sound, it seemed to be the most reliable guess. At least for a short time, the upper floors should be safer than the lower ones.

"Damn it, I'm going upstairs!"

Xia Tianqi clenched his teeth and, unwilling to waste more time, glanced up at the eerie upper floors and ran up.

Although the more dangerous a place is, the safer it might be, he didn't have the courage to go up to the eighth floor, where many people had been killed.

Thinking about it, even the person who said "the more dangerous a place is, the safer it might be" might not have encountered a ghost, or they wouldn't have said that.

So, as a cautious person, it was safer to be conservative.

After some consideration, Xia Tianqi decided to stay on the seventh floor and find a suitable dormitory to hide in.

He quickly made up his mind and quickly came to the door of Dormitory 703.

He chose this dormitory mainly because he was most familiar with it, and when he started to choose, the first thought that came to mind was to hide in Dormitory 703.

"Looks like I really have a thing for this place."

Xia Tianqi sighed inwardly, then took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

At the same time.

The "ice block" that had trapped the red-clothed ghost began to crack more rapidly, looking like a shattered eggshell, clearly on the verge of completely breaking.

...

When Xia Tianqi entered Dormitory 703, he was startled by the scene in front of him. On the bed—there was a person lying there!

The girl was wearing a cute nightgown that only covered her hips, lying in a "big" shape, her legs spread wide, revealing everything.

It was none other than the girl he had already seen naked earlier.

"Why is she here?"

Just as Xia Tianqi was puzzled, the girl rubbed her eyes and suddenly sat up on the bed, noticing Xia Tianqi standing by the door and widening her eyes in surprise.

"You..."

Not giving the girl a chance to speak, Xia Tianqi rushed over and forcefully covered her mouth.

"I'll ask you a question, and you can answer. If I don't ask, you don't speak. Can you do that?"

The girl nodded fearfully.

Despite this, Xia Tianqi didn't loosen his grip and began to ask:

"Why didn't you leave with the other students?"

"I... I stayed up all night... I didn't know... when they left."

"Is that so?" Xia Tianqi's face showed a cold smile at the girl's ridiculous excuse, and his gaze became sharp.

"Stayed up all night? Didn't you know that someone died here last night, including one of your roommates!"

Faced with Xia Tianqi's questioning, the girl didn't argue but her expression gradually turned sinister.

Seeing this, Xia Tianqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling that his guess was correct—this cute girl was likely possessed by the ghost!

Xia Tianqi's heart pounded wildly. Although he speculated that the possessed ghost didn't have the ability to kill, that was just his wishful thinking. After all, he was now facing a ghost.

So, to say he wasn't nervous or afraid would be a lie even to himself.

"Why are you doing this? Why do you have to put us to death!"

Xia Tianqi gripped the girl's neck tightly and roared in anger.

"You will die too!"

The girl spat out viciously.

"I'll see who dies first!"
