Chapter 15 — Second Game (8)

Bang——

Guan Lin staggered after crashing into the classroom. However, in the second the door was knocked open, everything disappeared.

Whether it was the teachers, the children, the flames, the smoke; everything disappeared into thin air. Row and rows of partly new tables and chairs were neatly arranged in the classroom and the walls were also snow-white. The daily schedule on the wall by the doorway and the blackboard that had not been wiped clean appeared very much unpleasant to the eyes.

Guan Lin cursed directly and slammed his fist against the wall in frustration.

However, the next thing they discovered was that the children in the preschool class had disappeared along with the three NPC teachers.

The players gathered together again for the first time apart from the first day they had assembled.

“Lunch break ends in half an hour.” Shang Chi looked at the time and warned in a low voice, “Next, I suppose the difficulty will officially be unleashed.”

Guan Lin had a gloomy face, he was obviously aware of something. With Yao Qinyu embracing his arm, Guan Lin couldn’t even resist the urge to pull his hand out. He looked around at the crowd, “If they’re gone, then they’re gone. Didn’t a few children already?”

“You should have come out at night and run into a ghost before, right?” Wei Qianrong stepped forward and asked, “I’m inclined to think that the ghosts holding a flashlight are this kindergarten’s former security guards and they might be the undead.” They could even refresh that flashlight prop on their own. However, Wei Qianrong felt that there was no need to share the following sentence.

Guan Lin touched his talisman and took a look at Yao Qinyu. He let out a muffled ‘hmm’ from his throat.

“It could be very dangerous tonight. The ghost only knocked on the door before but so many ‘ghosts’ died tonight, it might have opened up some restraints.” When Wei Qianrong said this, she was looking at Yang Zixuan, “In any case, we are going to clear the game together. If you have any information, we had better exchange it.” However, Yang Zixuan lowered his head and said nothing. Wei Qianrong didn’t speak anymore.

“Everyone had better not go out at night and keep your doors tightly closed. Don’t sleep too deep in case something happens.” Shang Chi pushed up his glasses as he warned them. His eyes flickered over to the dense dark fog that was indistinctly on Guan Lin’s body then he nonchalantly looked away.

The fact that these two people had such heavy yin energy when nothing had happened showed that the event that happened before was only on a small scale but after Guan Lin opened the door, the black mist on them became even thicker at that moment.

Shang Chi lowered his head and his eyes gleamed with cold light, something was about to happen. Guan Lin and Yao Qinyu should also be the first batch to meet with a mishap. And then the next would be……

Shang Chi eyed Jiang Xiaoli, who looked weak but she had a dense light red ghostly aura wrapped around her body. This person had been favoured by a ferocious ghost and her body was practically covered with the aura of that ferocious — declaring its sovereignty. He also didn’t know why she had not been eaten until now.

Perhaps she had a couple of tricks up her sleeve? But also, why was the red aura concentrated at her heart.

Could it be that there was something different there?……

Shang Chi couldn’t help from taking a few more looks. Suddenly, a cold chill ran down his spine, the sort of cold that ran from the soles of his feet to the marrow of his bones.

He swayed on the spot with his shock in plain sight and he took two steps backwards abruptly. It was only then that he felt a little better.

His movement was too great that it caused everyone to look over. Shang Chi smiled awkwardly, his face was still pale, “I can see some things, so I got frightened by what I saw moments ago. I’m sorry.”

After these words were spoken, everyone thought that Shang Chi saw the appearance of those people who died tragically at the time of the large fire, so they didn’t speak of it anymore.

Ding Yirong amicably stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder to console him. After all, Shang Chi’s complexion right now wasn’t really good, he was so scared that his face was very pale.

Jiang Xiaoli pressed on the region of her heart, ‘Li Hongying?’

‘He stared at you and even looked at that region.’ Li Hongying’s tone was rather eerie, it was obvious that she was very angry. If it weren’t for the fact that there are so many people here……

The thin wisps of blood under the soles of Jiang Xiaoli’s feet only appeared for a moment and then faded quickly but it was just that no one had seen it since it was too fast.

Shang Chi: To tell you the truth, what I saw was a red mist!

Jiang Xiaoli?!

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at Shang Chi and happened to meet the cautious gaze that he cast over. The two of them stared at each other and were stunned.

Jiang Xiaoli silently retreated two steps backwards and cowered behind Wei Qianrong.

This guy……shouldn’t have an interest in her, right? Or you’re trying to be cannon fodder and be the first to be eliminated?

The atmosphere was silent. Shang Chi glanced at the time and he left. The two NPC teachers on his side hadn’t died yet and they also didn’t know how they died.

“Come on, let’s hurry back too.” Ding Yirong said with the wave of his hand. There wasn’t a single grownup at the dormitory, so nothing had better happen to the children at such a crucial moment.

They went back quickly and found that the children had not woken up, then they heaved a sigh of relief. But when the children got out of bed, they found out that a girl was missing after they did a headcount.

“Where is Zhang Qiu’er?” Jiang Xiaoli had an impression of all these children and noticed that someone was missing at once.

Yet the children just looked at her in silence as if there had never been this person in the class before……Something was wrong.

The three of them were silent for a while and didn’t ask any more questions about that child but they brought the rest of the children to the playground to have fun.

That little dumpling that was very affectionate to Jiang Xiaoli……The child, Nian Jing. After the other children went off to play, she quietly ran to her side, “Teacher.”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xiaoli squatted down, looked at the little dumpling and smiled.

“Qiuqiu was taken away because she didn’t go to bed obediently.” Nian Jing whispered to Jiang Xiaoli, “It’s very dangerous. It’s very dangerous. Teacher shouldn’t think about it anymore.”

“Teacher, you look like my sister.” Nian Jing flashed a shy smile with her big eyes curved, immediately hitting Jiang Xiaoli’s aunty heart. “So, teacher don’t die. I will……”

Before the child — Nian Jing — could finish this sentence, the surrounding air seemed to have stiffened in an instant. Her face also turned a little paler. Nian Jing didn’t continue speaking, she just looked at Jiang Xiaoli helplessly and smiled; she was soft and cute.

Jiang Xiaoli guessed that there might be some rule, the NPC in this copy……the children in this copy weren’t allowed to reveal too much?

It was only an afternoon of playing but they were short of one child. It was a boy who disappeared this time. The child disappeared without a sound. Wei Qianrong and the others had clearly been watching the children very attentively but the child still……what a pity.

Jiang Xiaoli still felt that this copy was too easy the day before yesterday and there would be no danger if they followed the rules dutifully. Nothing would happen too. would get through the two weeks in peace.

But now——

It was finally night time and the children were all asleep. Jiang Xiaoli was also about to go to bed but she heard the rhythmic knocking from outside the door before she crawled onto the bed.

She ignored it.

She turned off the lights and climbed onto the bed with Li Hongying. Before she could close her eyes, she heard……the sound of the door lock being tampered with.

“!” Jiang Xiaoli suddenly sat up straight.

The clacking sound was particularly ear-piercing at night, her heart seemed to dance each time the lock was tampered with. At that instant, cold sweat seeped out from Jiang Xiaoli’s back and she touched Li Hongying beside her helplessly before she felt a little more at ease.

Li Hongying gently touched Jiang Xiaoli’s back but Jiang Xiaoli couldn’t relax the whole time. She gradually became impatient and she was particularly annoyed by the sound from outside.

“Kiss me, I’ll suck your blood after we get out of this copy.”

Sucking Jiang Xiaoli’s blood in this copy……wasn’t too safe.

Jiang Xiaoli almost fainted the last time she sucked a bit of her blood, she would wait until they get out of this copy to settled the account this time. However, Li Hongying was an individual that wasn’t willing to suffer a loss. She was unable to conveniently suck blood but there were other benefits she could request.

“You’re still saying this kind of words at this time?” It went without saying that Jiang Xiaoli was still scared. She had been listening intently to those movements, fearing that the door would suddenly open and the ghost would walk in with its flashlight in hand.

As a result, Li Hongying actually took advantage of the situation?

“What could your perverted mind possibly be thinking the entire day!”

“Per—vert?” 1 Li Hongying thought about this form of address. She was angry over it but also found it laughable.

She suddenly rolled over and pinned Jiang Xiaoli directly onto the bed. She opened her mouth and bit Jiang Xiaoli’s lips until it was split. Jiang Xiaoli wanted to struggle when it hurt.

At this time, Li Hongying’s movement slowed down and she licked the streaks of blood clean. She said in a husky voice, “I have a name, don’t make up a name.”

Click.

The door opened.

How did she know?

Because a light beam from a flashlight illuminated from the doorway……

“Ghost, ghost. Ahhh! Li Hongying!——” Jiang Jiang Xiaoli screamed in terror but Li Hongying raised her hand to cover her eyes.

“Be good, close your eyes for a minute.”

The room turned red in an instant. Li Hongying rolled out of the bed and stepped on the floor with her bare feet. She didn’t show her original form but countless threads of blood spread out from under her feet twisted towards the dark figure with a torch to kill it——

“A mere child like you also dares to act presumptuously.”

There was a bang, then there was silence but the dark figure suddenly exploded like the smoke of a smoke bomb dispersing. The threads of blood plunged into the black mist, shredding everything.

The torch didn’t stay this time, probably because Jiang Xiaoli had already gotten the item. After all, it would have been a bug if it was infinitely available.

She said for a minute but it was only a matter of moments. With less than a minute left, Li Hongying used it to calm herself down and retract the wisps of blood.

Although she had never been in love, she knew that if she wanted to chase a girl, she had to show her best side. If she hadn’t lost control, she wouldn’t have been willing to show her own body before she died to Jiang Xiaoli.

The ruthlessness, resentment, bloodthirst and obsession that belong to a ghost were all things that she was willing to slowly restrain — she just needed time.

After closing her eyes, Li Hongying turned around and returned to bed. She kissed Jiang Xiaoli on the forehead and her voice became gentle, “There, you can sleep now.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Xiaoli opened her eyes cautiously but she didn’t see anything in the pitch-dark room. She wanted to switch on the lights to take a look but Li Hongying had switched on the lights for her before she could do so.

The sudden flash of light was glaring causing her to squint her eyes but when she looked around, there was nothing unusual in the room. “Is the ghost dead?”

“It’s been scattered.” Li Hongying said flatly. She thought about whether she had been too cold after she had replied and added dryly, “It’s a wimpy little ghost.”

In regards to this kind of evaluation — wimpy little ghost……Jiang Xiaoli somewhat didn’t believe it. Perhaps in Li Hongying’s eyes, those ghosts weren’t up to the standard of wimpy little ghosts but to her……She could only run if she encountered them. If it hadn’t been for Li Hongying, she might have run away after she had locked the ghost with the flashlight. Perhaps she would have circled the kindergarten three and a half times in the night?

死鬼 (sĭ guĭ) : It’s a wordplay! Since Li Hongying is a ghost, how dead can an already dead ghost be? At the same time, it means pervert.
