Shen Dongqing: “Where are you going?”

The Ghost Baby shuddered, revealing a fawning smile, conveying that it did not have the courage to run anymore. 9tQvRG

Shen Dongqing picked up the umbilical cord and held it in his hand as if he was holding onto a dog leash. As he swung it, he urged: “Lead the way.”

Under the circumstances where it was hopeless to run away, the Ghost Baby could only lead the way obediently.

It brought the pair deeper into the classroom building, taking left and right turns, and it was unknown how long they had been walking before they came to a stop in front of a door.

Shen Dongqing opened the door. QfaJ8K

This was an abandoned classroom. A few plastic bags were still hanging on the tables and they were releasing an odour.

Shen Dongqing raised his hand to wave away the dust before he looked at the Ghost Baby.

The Ghost Baby pointed with its thin finger, signalling for him to push open the window.

Zhou Wenyan took a step forward and pushed open the rusted window, which allowed fresh air to flow in and disperse the stench inside the classroom slightly. He glanced left and right before he uttered: “The music room is downstairs.” dAKxz1

From his angle, he could see the piano being displayed in the classroom, and the music was also coming from the same place.

Zhou Wenyan: “I’ll go first.”

He stepped on the window ledge with one foot. There was a small balcony outside the classroom below. After he found a place to put his feet, he used the crevices to the scale down the outer wall slowly before he gave a final light jump to land on the balcony.

Shen Dongqing poked his head out while he was holding onto the Ghost Baby. e4STJC

Zhou Wenyan stretched his hands towards him. “Come here.”

Shen Dongqing released his hand. With its newfound freedom, the Ghost Baby was like a mouse as it latched onto the outer walls and leapt into the music room next door, and its figure disappeared in an instant.

The music room was on the third floor whereas Shen Dongqing was standing on the fourth floor. Since he was too lazy to scale the wall, Shen Dongqing shot Zhou Wenyan a grin before he loosened his grip and jumped down.

Zhou Wenyan caught him in his full embrace, but he had to take two steps back to prop his back against the wall and kill the momentum. “That’s too dangerous.” aAjPLr

Shen Dongqing giggled, saying: “Don’t I have you? You’ll definitely catch me.”

Helpless, Zhou Wenyan stated, “You’re not allowed to do this again.”

Shen Dongqing promised readily: “Fine, fine.”

Zhou Wenyan brushed off the dust on his clothes before he looked towards the link between the balcony and the classroom. 7YHsAJ

In all likelihood, no one had expected that someone would attempt to get in by scaling the wall. Hence, the school only built a wall in front of the main door, whereas the balcony door was only blocked off with wooden planks.

The wooden boards were nailed to the door and windows in a disorderly manner, thus leaking some seams, which revealed the fact that the music room was pitch-black inside, just like a horror movie.

Shen Dongqing extended his hand to tear at one of the wooden planks. ABq8Kj

After being weathered down by years of wind and rain, the wooden plank broke off with a single tug. The rusted red nails landed on the ground and bounced a few times, causing a distinctive sound with each collision.

The female school senior inside the music room seemed to receive a scare as she issued a string of doubtful noises which sounded extremely piercing to the ear.

As Shen Dongqing threw down the wooden plants, he tried to negotiate with the person inside, “Can you play something that sounds nicer?” He racked his brains to find a song name that he remembered, “Do you know how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars

The Short-haired Woman cursed in her heart. She originally wanted to bring these new players so they could explore their paths, but she did not expect that these players would have such weak wills, and they were directly assimilated into the game.

Right now, there were only two… no, there was only one left.

Short-haired Woman: “Put her down.” nVMdB6

Bespectacled Lady: “Ah?”

The Short-haired Woman said impatiently, “She’s already dead.”

That lady had completely stopped breathing.

Inside this S-level copy, she did not lose her life because of the ghosts and monsters; rather, she died in the hands of her companions. 14QFd3

Beyond the three people who had gathered again in a short moment’s work, namely Wu Jia, the Short-haired Woman, and the only surviving novice player among the group she had brought, there was no one else. It was unknown if other players had entered the copy besides their two groups, but no one came over in the moments that followed after.

Shen Dongqing peeked his head out of the broadcasting room. “There’s only so few of us?”

Wu Jia pushed his heads: “Yeah, we’ll have to make do with what we have.”

The approximate figure of players who had entered the S-level copy was in the two digits, but there were only so few left standing right now. In a short span of time, the majority of the players had been taken off, and it was under the circumstances where there was not much danger yet. ZTmbcB

Shen Dongqing walked out: “Let’s find the Life Science Research Company first.”

The Short-haired Woman’s first reaction was to pull out her mobile phone to search.

However, inputting the words into the search bar only yielded a few pieces of useless information, and she did not find anything related to the company despite flipping through a few pages.

“There’s nothing. It should be blocked.” The Short-haired Woman raised her phone display and showed it to everyone in a circle. dYwaxp

Zhou Wenyan crossed his arms. “The game’s boundaries can only be within this city, let’s split up to look for it.”

The Short-haired Woman stared at Zhou Wenyan: “How are we going to split into groups?”

Originally, she held the dominant position in terms of the number of players she brought, but now those people had all died, which meant that Zhou Wenyan held the upper hand, and she was worried that he would not share the clues once they found it.

Zhou Wenyan placed his hand on Shen Dongqing’s shoulder. “We’re in one group.” gD wIv

Wu Jia pointed at himself: “What about me then?”

Raising his eyelids, Zhou Wenyan said faintly, “Be more perceptive.”

Wu Jia grasped his meaning. If he, Zhou Wenyan and Shen Dongqing stuck together, it would definitely arouse the Short-haired Woman’s suspicion. It was better if he stayed together with the Short-haired Woman to ensure that both sides could cooperate with one another.

He shifted his feet and sidled up to the Short-haired Woman before he extended his hand. “Happy cooperation.” gje5xV

The Short-haired Woman accepted this arrangement as well.

Wu Jia gave Zhou Wenyan a look, expressing that it was still his Boss’ considerations which was mature and reflective.

Unfortunately, both of their thoughts were not on the same frequency, Zhou Wenyan did not comprehend the meaning behind Wu Jia’s gaze at all.

If he actually understood it, Zhou Wenyan would only say that he was thinking too much, his only consideration was that he did not want a lightbulb disturbing their love affair, it was that simple. XeCTuj

When the group of players left the school, the void in the sky darkened as the black clouds gathered densely, taking the shape of a vortex which looked like an eye.
