Chapter 16 — Second Game (9)

Jiang Xiaoli calmed down for a while, then got up, wanting to go to Wei Qianrong to check on her. A ghost came over here on her side and Wei Qianrong was just right next door. However, as soon as she got up, she was stopped by Li Hongying.

“It’s too late, go to sleep.” As for worrying about the woman next door? There was no need to. Li Hongying suppressed the displeasure in the depths of her heart and said, “She has a prop, so she’ll be fine. A ghost came to your side and she definitely must have sensed it but she didn’t come knocking on your door.

“Then what if there are two……”Jiang Xiaoli shut her mouth in the middle of the sentence. She raised her hand and pinched her earlobe too. If there were two ghosts, Wei Qianrong would attack with a compass or use a talisman and there should be some sign of activity.

This time the ghost had tampered with her door lock. Although Jiang Xiaoli felt that these ghosts were deliberately scaring her, so she had to make a move……This movement was not considered to be small.

The game only required them to do nothing more than living until the end and didn’t state how many people were required to live until the end nor did it stipulate the matter of teaming up with others.

Tomorrow then. It was so quiet on Wei Qianrong end, she should also be fine. Li Hongying saved her life……she had better follow Li Hongying’s will.

She saw Wei Qianrong in the canteen the next day, Wei Qianrong seemed to be dumbfounded for a moment.

“It’s great that you’re fine.” Wei Qianrong smiled, “The ghost attack last night really scared me to death.”

“You also encountered a ghost?” Jiang Xiaoli asked in curiosity.

“Mhm……but I have a talisman, so I’m fine. What about you? Did you use that flashlight?”

“……Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here safely.” Jiang Xiaoli smiled coyly, “I’ll go get my breakfast first.”

By the time Jiang Xiaoli came back with a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, Ding Yirong had also come to the canteen. He held a bowl of white porridge, took five steamed buns and piled them on a plate; and gnawed each and every one.

His cheeks bulged as he said, “Yesterday, Guan Lin’s door was knocked on by the ghost. I was scared to death next door, I even thought that it was my door. Fortunately, I reckon it was probably because Guan Lin and Yao Qinyu were together. Neither of them did the task, so they were the priority targets for the ghosts.”

“Then they are fine……” Before he finished talking, he saw Guan Lin and Yao Qinyu walking into the canteen together. Their complexions were not very good. Guan Lin was fine because it was not obvious since he was tanned. However, Yao Qinyu had two big dark circles under her eyes. Both of them were disgruntled. Last night was probably not a good night for the both of them.

“Yang Zixuan, where did you go last night? There was such a big movement on our side and you don’t even know how to come and help?” As soon as Guan Lin came to the canteen, he saw Yang Zixuan sitting alone at a seat, having breakfast; then he started to throw a fit. There was a lot of movement last night.

After all, that ghost actually had a flashlight prop that could lock them in place!

Fortunately, the ghost didn’t carry any weapons on its body last night. Otherwise, even if Guan Lin and Yao Qinyu had talismans to protect themselves, they had to turn over one of them there.

“I was asleep.” Yang Zixuan swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and replied.

“You——”

“There, there. We’re all teammates, don’t be angry anymore.” Yao Qinyu quickly pulled Guan Lin. She certainly didn’t want to have an acrimonious falling-out with the other members of the team, Guan Lin was running out of trump cards. If he really got nasty and fell out with Yang Zixuan……then she didn’t know how she was going to survive for the remaining five days.

Guan Lin seemed to think about that too. Although his complexion was unsightly, he snorted coldly and didn’t do anything else. However, he was obviously not as friendly to Yao Qinyu in the beginning. He swung his hand and scolded, “Go to your own room in the future!”

“Brother Guan……” Yao Qinyu sniffed and tears came out, “I know I’m very weak but I really didn’t mean it, please don’t be like this, okay?”

Guan Lin sneered and didn’t speak, he went to the window to get his breakfast alone.

This was a……falling-out? Because of the ghost attack last night?

Jiang Xiaoli and the others only glanced over at the excitement, they wouldn’t intervene or say anything. After all, they didn’t know each other very well.

After the meal, they still had to take care of the children and get them out of bed. But after the handicraft lesson was over, Nian Jing gave Jiang Xiaoli a cloth doll. It was a doll that Nian Jing sewed on her own. She had sewn it for a few handicraft lessons. The needlework was very clumsy, the eyes were stitched with black buttons and the fabric was pieced together. It could be seen that it was a female doll.

Naturally, it was not only Nian Jing who gave a doll. In this class, there were still two children, who completed their dolls and gave them to Ding Yirong and Wei Qianrong respectively as gifts.

To be honest, the doll was very horrifying. Jiang Xiaoli looked at the overly simple and crude doll in her hand, the black button eyes and simple needlework formed a curved smile. It looked strange no matter how she looked. However, this doll was given by the little dumpling, Nian Jing.

Furthermore……

It was a gift.

Even though there were no such hints, Jiang Xiaoli could not refuse when she looked at Nian Jing’s big lustrous eyes looked as she gave her the doll and she would not discard this doll.

After all……she also observed the sewing process, Nian Jing was very earnest. She was undoubtedly only a child. She didn’t even cry when her finger had been pricked by a needle and kept doing her best at sewing the doll.

Wei Qianrong and Ding Yirong also carefully put away their dolls. They didn’t want to know what were the consequences of not taking great care of this ‘gift’ was.

Shang Chi also got the doll, the two NPCs together with him in his group got the dolls too. He had exchanged information with Jiang Xiaoli and the others before. After he put away the doll, he hugged the little boy, who gave him the doll happily.

"

"

As for the NPCs……One of the dolls was given by Xiao Hei, it was precisely the boy, who was forced to finish the egg yolk.

The scenario at the time was very weird. Xiao Hei and another boy, who was often berated by those NPCs, walked towards those NPC teachers while holding a rag doll. The rest of the children just sat in placed and watched.

The whole classroom was incredibly quiet.

At that time, Shang Chi felt that something wasn’t right. He vigilantly watched what was going on there while he held onto the doll that had he received. He was prepared to take to his heels at any time.

“Teacher, thank you for your continued care. This is for you.” Xiao Hei broke into a huge grin but there wasn’t a slight hint of a smile on his countenance, even the tone of his speech was extremely cold and full of resentment.

That NPC merely looked at it coldly and didn’t even reach out to pick it up. The two of them confronted each other for a very long time.

“Teacher, this is a ‘gift’ for you.” The other little boy smiled the same way too. He emphasised the word ‘gift’ and held the doll up in front of the other NPC.

“You are the best gift.” The teacher suddenly smiled.

After accepting the doll, he reached out with his hand and touched the little boy’s face. The next second, the boy suddenly took a few steps backwards. The resentment and fear in his eyes were as clear as day.

“The gift, I accept it.” That teacher held up the doll and began chuckling. The boy seemed to be scared, he lowered his head and returned to his seat.

Xiao Hei still held up his doll, it seemed that he wouldn’t give up if the NPC would not accept it.

“You little brat.” That NPC seemed to curse in a low voice, he took the rag doll in his hands and tore that doll in half in the next second.

With a tearing sound, the cotton wool inside dropped out. Because of the poor needlework, so the sewing wasn’t very secure. With a strong pull and a throw, they couldn’t bear to watch the doll.

“I’ll snap your leg the next time you give me such a rubbish thing.”

This was……a confrontation between ghosts?

Shang Chi’s eyes widened as soon as he saw Xiao Hei smiling coldly. In the next instant, a bloody hole appeared on Xiao Hei’s forehead and he began to bleed as if he had been hit by some blunt weapon.

His hands, feet and arms started to twist and displace.

His nostril, mouth and ears started to seep out blood……

A gust of black gas spilt over from him. He screamed and lunged forward but was pushed away by the NPC teacher.

“Teacher! Teacher, it hurts so much! Teacher!” Xiao Hei grinned and screamed, “Teacher, it hurts so much……Teacher, come and keep me company……”

“Do you think you can kill me again?” That NPC sneered and spat out such a sentence. He suddenly stepped forward by a step and Shang Chi saw a trail of blood ooze out of his back all of a sudden. His upper body appeared to gradually move away as if his body was directly chopped in half by some sharp weapon!

There was blood all over the floor.

That NPC pounded Xiao Hei’s head with a punch, denting Xiao Hei’s head with his fist.

Yet Xiao Hei just screamed and bit his arm.

"

"

The two ghosts started to fight at close quarters straight away. However, Xiao Hei was obviously not the opponent of the NPC teacher.

He was pressed to the floor and beaten repeatedly. All of his limbs had been hit so badly that they were completely twisted and he was unable to move. He could only lay on the floor, appearing to smile as he screamed.

……A gloomy wind passed and Xiao Hei gradually dissipated from the classroom.

That NPC, who hit people, did not return to its original state. He slowly climbed up from the floor and coldly swept his eyes all around.

His chin that was dripping with blood twisted towards Shang Chi, he was looking at Shang Chi!

It was just that he had not moved and the doll that had been torn into two suddenly moved. It suddenly jumped on the ghost and exploded with a bang.

That NPC had also disappeared.

Throughout the entire process, the other NPC did not intervene at all and the rest of the children in the class watched expressionlessly like puppets, without any reaction.

After everything was over, it was as if the camera that was paused, started with a touch again. The children regained their previous appearance and the remaining NPC held his doll, continuing to explain matters as if nothing had happened.

Only Shang Chi stood rigidly on the spot, his hands holding the doll were soaked with cold sweat. He didn’t even dare to breathe hard. His hands and feet were cold as he watched as everything seemed to return to normal.

He couldn’t even push up his glasses to see what was different about this classroom.

“It’s time to eat.” The NPC looked at the time and said such a sentence, then began to organise the children to go to the canteen.

"

"

It was only then that it was as if Shang Chi had woken up from a dream. He pulled off a stiff smile but it was even uglier than crying. He walked out of the classroom with the same hand and the same foot, bringing the children to the canteen.

The doll in his hand had to be treated well like an amulet.

If……it was damaged, then it was a death warrant.

Moreover, Xiao Hei’s death was too tragic as if he was beaten to death.

Linking it with that teacher’s words……

Xiao Hei became a ghost after he died and he brewed up an incident to avenge himself, killing that teacher?

As a result, the teacher also became a ghost and they were all trapped in this kindergarten. Xiao Hei, who had become a ghost, encountered the same teacher, who had turned into a ghost. However, he was still not the opponent of that teacher……

Shang Chi thought of all these and suddenly raised his hand to give himself a slap. He should have just taken a shot to help Xiao Hei! If Xiao Hei didn’t die and defeats that NPC, didn’t it mean that Xiao Hei would become his helping hand?!

The child was a ghost and the teacher was also a ghost. There were no survivors. But……not only are they dead set against each other but they also could really kill each other.
