Chapter 11 — Second Game (4)

“Next time……” Jiang Xiaoli calmed down and said in a low voice, “If I am about to die, you have to save me. Flesh, blood or anything……I also have to stay alive to give you these. In that situation just now, I also couldn’t stop counting to ask you for help.”

“Low-level games have a lot of restrictions imposed on me.” Li Hongying raised her hands to touch Jiang Xiaoli’s neck that had been clutched until it bruised. She explained, “I’ve been isolated just now. This game wants you to work hard on your own.”

“……Oh.” No f*ck was said.

However, the notice after it was completed……Jiang Xiaoli didn’t understand. Present?

Compared to this hint, what she saw and heard when she was counting, made her more troubled. In the mirror, she vaguely saw that ghost clutching and lifting someone. After that, she became that person who was clutched in the hands of that ghost. If she had not counted to a hundred, she even suspected that her own neck could be broken off directly! That ghost is a……teacher? Jiang Xiaoli scowled. She thought of the news she had once seen, kindergarten……child abuse? Profanity? But she had never seen a slightly fat female teacher in this kindergarten.

After taking a quick shower and changing her clothes, Jiang Xiaoli switched on the small bedside lamp and climbed into bed. She looked at Li Hongying, who was sitting by the bed and asked, “That child today……was she a ghost?”

“The breath of a ghost can be concealed and the rules at the beginning of the game have strong restrictive powers. If a ghost does not want to be revealed then no breath will be leaked out at all.” After all, this is a game. A game is meant to be ‘played’.” If players have fun playing, then ghosts will have fun playing. It’s only natural that by the late stage of the game, these restrictions will be gone.

……

She had to get up early the second day and eat. At half-past six, Jiang Xiaoli met several other players in the canteen. Jiang Xiaoli wrapped gauze around her neck to cover up the strangulation marks. She observed them while she ate her meal. Everyone didn’t look very good. Especially her neighbour, Wei Qianrong. Her face was deathly pale. Seeing that she had always been watching her, she raised her head and smiled at her. It was just that she looked very weak.

Jiang Xiaoli suspected that she also completed that task yesterday.

Wei Qianrong carried her breakfast with both hands and walked up to Jiang Xiaoli’s side to settle down. She whispered, “Yesterday, did you also……?”

“What did you have to do?”

“I had to fill the bathtub full of water at midnight and get in. Then, put a razor blade against my wrist in the water and silently count to thirty.” Wei Qianrong raised her hand, seeming to expose her wrist without paying attention. There were several marks on it, “That female ghost came really quickly. My compass kept on turning non-stop. The talisman I got from my first game has already been used once. I was almost drained of my blood.” She could not even feel pain when she bled. If it weren’t for the scare she got at the end of her counting.

“I turned off the lights and counted to a hundred while looking into the mirror.” Jiang Xiaoli sighed, “I almost got strangled to death.”

Wei Qianrong did not mention the information she had obtained so Jiang Xiaoli also did not take the initiative to say anything. The two of them quickly finished their meal and that Teacher Wang from yesterday, came to the entrance of the canteen, “Teachers, it’s time to get the children out of bed.”

Three teachers led a class of children, dividing it into Pre-kindergarten, Kindergarten 1, Kindergarten 2 and Preschool. Jiang Xiaoli looked at Wei Qianrong, the girl then nodded her head and formed a temporary team with her. Ding Yirong also came over from those bunch of boys. The three of them went to Kindergarten 2 after some discussion. They felt that five or six-year-old children should be better. After the decision, they went to the large room where the children slept.

The room was full of bunk beds and there were sixteen bunk beds in this room, four by four each, leaving only a narrow aisle. Some children have woken up well-behaved and even tossed their quilts after changing their clothes in a proper manner, some children are still sleeping soundly. They woke the children up, helped the children who don’t know how to get properly dressed and then made them line up to bring them to the canteen to have breakfast together. The children’s breakfast was noodles and milk as well as a soft-boiled egg that had been peeled.

“Sister, will you take our class from now on?” A small dumpling rushed into Jiang Xiaoli’s arms and acted coquettishly after eating her noodles. Jiang Xiaoli took a look, isn’t this the small dumpling from yesterday?

“That’s right.”

“That’s great, I really like you!” The child smiled sweetly. Jiang Xiaoli smiled with curved eyes and rubbed her head, then coaxed her while hugging her; and fed an egg to her. When it was time for the children to line up and return to the classroom, Wei Qianrong walked up to her and whispered, “You seem to be very attractive to them?”

Early in the morning, practically all the children were secretly looking at Jiang Xiaoli. Of course, there were also children who had a favourable impression of Wei Qianrong and Ding Yirong but it was too little in the comparison.

Jiang Xiaoli smiled stiffly for a while, the children were really secretly looking at her. Some ate noodles while watching her, enthusiastically slurping. But……she suddenly thought of the students on the campus that looked at her like she was a ‘great feast with long legs’ after the novice protection period had passed.

“Do you have a special constitution in the real world? Do you raise ghosts?” Wei Qianrong said as she could not restrain her curiosity. This girl looks incomparably weak, don’t tell me she has a hidden big shot? As long as one is primarily close to Jiang Xiaoli, the surrounding air will be a bit cooler because Wei Qianrong who had crammed a lot of supernatural novels for the game felt that: Jiang Xiaoli might have come in contact with ghosts often in the real world so she was contaminated with yin energy.

“That’s not it, I was just unlucky to open the door.” Jiang Xiaoli shook her head and sighed. She obviously had not encountered any supernatural events and there also had been no accidental deaths of her friends around her before. How did the scent of her blood and flesh become so attractive to ghosts once she opened that door —— who knows?

Wei Qianrong lowered her head while laughing and said, “When you have cleared the second game, you will be qualified to enter the escape game forum.”

“Forum?”

“Exchange of information on……how to survive in the game. Moreover, it can notify newcomers of those perverted players who slaughter players or pit teammates for fun in the game. Then, there are still some tips, such as don’t use your real name and don’t freely disclose your real-life information.” Wei Qianrong winked and softly said, “After all, props can also be transferred.”

After the death of the owner of the prop, the prop will become a bona vacantia.

Jiang Xiaoli nodded her head, “Thank you.”

“It’s not valuable information. If you live to clear this game, you will also know it.”

The teaching activities are to teach the children, Chinese, Mathematics and English. Chinese is pinyin, then reading some Classic Chinese poems and reciting from the Three Character Classics and the like. Mathematics is the addition and subtraction of numbers less than ten. English is the 26 letters and the phonetic symbols. It’s all very simple.

For the three subjects, Ding Yirong tore a piece of paper that had Chinese, Mathematics and English written on it and drew lots with them to choose. In the end, Ding Yirong taught English, Wei Qianrong taught Chinese and Jiang Xiaoli taught Mathematics.

The first lesson is taught by Wei Qianrong and the second lesson by Jiang Xiaoli. Then, Ding Yirong took the children to sing and they kept singing until it was time for lunch.

“Be good and take your afternoon nap. Don’t talk.” Wei Qianrong moved a chair over to sit at the door and kept watch as the small dumplings went to bed. Jiang Xiaoli shuttled between the beds and helped the children who didn’t know how to take off their clothes to remove their coats. Ding Yirong went to the canteen to have a meal. When the children ate, they watched them closely, afraid that there would be any accidents so they simply waited for when it was time for their afternoon nap to eat.

The room was a bit lively but gradually quietened down under Wei Qianrong’s repeated declarations. The sound of chatting and laughter faded away. The children covered their quilts over themselves and closed their eyes obediently.

“Do you want to keep watch?” Jiang Xiaoli asked.

Wei Qianrong glanced at Jiang Xiaoli, “Bad children will be punished.”

“What?”

“A hint.” Wei Qianrong looked in the direction of the wall, where a few children were quietly squinting their eyes and looking over at them, “For the time being, I also don’t understand what this means. When it was time for class, the children were very well-behaved and nothing happened to them. But they were still afraid of accidents.”

“Since it is a gift, then it must be kept properly.” Jiang Xiaoli voiced out the hint she got, looked at Wei Qianrong and smiled, “It’s an exchange.” The next moment, Jiang Xiaoli regretted that she smiled too early. It was like her heart had been suddenly stabbed by a needle. It hurt so much that her face went pale. Wei Qianrong raised her hand to support her with a look of concern, “What’s wrong? You……Why are you so cold?”

The formless hand seemed to hold her heart in its palm and kept tightening. Jiang Xiaoli was in so much pain that she could hardly speak. She pressed her hand against her chest and only shook her head. She got rid of Wei Qianrong’s hand, retreating a few steps away and the pain finally eased by a lot.

——Li Hongying is tormenting her again.

“It’s nothing, it will be better in a while.” Jiang Xiaoli’s voice was still a little weak but she was still strong enough to wave her hand. Wei Qianrong raised her hand and looked at Jiang Xiaoli for a while. She only put down her hand when she saw that Jiang Xiaoli was really all right.

“Here it comes, here it comes~ Our meal is here~” Ding Yirong ran over with three boxes of packed lunch, “It’s warm, dig in!”

“Keep your voice down, the children are asleep.” Wei Qianrong reminded in a low voice and was still sitting at the door, “The two of you can eat first, switch with me after you’ve finished.”

“……Alright, then I’ll eat quickly.” Ding Yirong hesitated for a moment, looked into the room like he understood something and nodded his head in agreement. So the two of them crouched outside the door and started to eat their packed lunch. It was called a packed lunch but in fact, it was just takeaway food from the canteen.

During the afternoon nap, the whole kindergarten was quiet. Jiang Xiaoli sat next to Wei Qianrong, looked at the children and she could not help but yawn several times. Ding Yirong sat down and suddenly said in a whisper, “I think……something is not right.”

“Mhm?”

"

"

“This kindergarten is too quiet. I didn’t hear bugs chirping at night. This time, we should hear the sound of bugs chirping at night, right? After all, there are so many plants here.” This was what Ding Yirong suddenly thought of. He felt something was missing at first but he never thought of it. Now it suddenly occurred to him, his body could not help but sweat out cold sweat. This was similar to a dead garden. As soon as the children sleep, the kindergarten would be silent.

Wei Yirong mouthed ‘ghost’, shrugged his shoulders and then said, “It doesn’t matter. By the way, which classes did the original teachers of the kindergarten take?”

“It seems to be Preschool. I think they chose Pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten 2.” Speaking of which, Ding Yirong lowered his volume and whispered, “Shang Chi is quite pitiful. He actually teamed up with the two NPC teachers.”

“Guan Lin obviously wants to be in the limelight and naturally looks down on Shang Chi. Yang Zixuan is very low-key. Yao Qinyu is also discreet.” Wei Yirong changed the subject, “In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Shang Chi.” After all, what you need to guard against with the NPCs are obvious. If you’re with a stupid teammate……

Time passed quietly, Wei Qianrong took a look at the time. It was almost time to wake the children up. She got up and stretched lazily and as soon as she stretched her body, she heard a scream coming from the room next door.
