That student was probably scared because he was threatened
with a knife, so his voice was a bit loud.
Ruan Qing also heard the voice and instinctively looked over,
only to realize that the student was referring to him.
Although he didn’t understand what was happening, Ruan Qing’s
reaction was very quick. Once he saw that the student was pointing at him, he
immediately turned around and ran without any hesitation.
When a person was being threatened with a knife and they
suddenly pointed at someone, it couldn’t be anything good. Moreover, those few
people didn’t look like students from their school. They weren’t wearing
uniforms, and they didn’t look like high school students in their teens.
Since this instance was clearly a supernatural escape or die
instance, being alone meant inviting death. That’s why the players who had just
entered were acting together.
Even the two advanced players didn’t separate from the main
group without any reason. So when the student pointed in that direction, they
all looked over together.
They saw a teenager running down the stairs of the teaching
building. He was in a hurry, with his hair disheveled, revealing a delicate and
beautiful appearance. He was so radiant that it seemed as if the whole world
had become his backdrop, like a fairy stepping out of an ink painting.
Although the distance wasn’t close, they could still clearly
see the teenager’s features, as if the heavens meticulously drew them. Maybe
because he was running too fast, there was a lovely blush on his face, as if
the evening glow was reflecting on him. It complemented the beauty spot at the
corner of his eye and the ruby earring by his ear, adding a touch of charm and
decadence.
Exceptionally beautiful.
The player who threatened the student was completely stunned
and said, “He... he looks like that?”
Impossible, right? Wasn’t he supposed to be a ruthless school
bully?
It’s impossible for someone who looked like that to be a
ruthless school bully. Most importantly, the teenager’s figure appeared fragile
and delicate, the kind that would be the target of bullying instead.
Hmm... in a certain sense, it could be considered a form of
bullying.
The player couldn’t believe that the teenager could force
someone to jump off a building. He instinctively turned his head to look around
the teenager, checking if the student was referring to someone else.
However, in that direction, there was only the teenager
alone.
So, it seemed that it really was the teenager the student was
referring to.
The problem was... What similarity could that teenager have
with a school bully? Same gender? Same school uniform?
Were they being fooled?
Because the player looked around and didn’t pay attention to
the distance between him and the student, he unintentionally got closer to the
student, causing the other to panic and scream, “It’s him! He’s Su Qing!!!”
Upon hearing this, the player didn’t move, and neither did
the other players.
After all, Su Qing was not an uncommon name. It’s quite
normal to have the same name and surname.
The player looked at the retreating figure of the teenager,
shifted their gaze back, and thought that the person in front of them
misunderstood who they were looking for. They said, “We’re looking for Su Qing,
the school bully who forced Song Yu to jump off the building. It’s not him.”
The student froze and hesitantly said, “But he is that school
bully, Su Qing.”
The student glanced at the knife in front of him and added in
a fearful voice, “He’s the one who bullied Song Yu into jumping off the
building.”
Player: “Ah?”
The live streams of several players were filled with question
marks.
[Don’t they just have the same name? Just a moment ago, I was
mocking this school bully for having such malicious thoughts at such a young
age. He must be one of those foul-smelling troublemakers who envy others at
every turn.]
[To be honest, I also thought he was one of those
troublemakers who excels at fighting and smoking. I don’t know if he smokes,
but he doesn’t seem like he can fight very well. I feel like I could make him
cry with just one punch.]
[Come on, don’t even talk about fighting him. I think if he
slapped me, his hand would hurt more than my cheek. He looks like a pampered
little young master. Who could he fight?]
[I don’t believe he bullies others in school, but I do
believe he’s the type who plays with others’ emotions shamelessly because he
thinks he’s attractive. After all, he doesn’t seem like a decent person.]
[No doubt, maybe he played around with that top student,
which led to his suicide. That level of wickedness might be worse than school
bullying.]
[Indeed, killing someone’s spirit is always more painful than
physical harm. But... he’s really good-looking, sobs. I would beg him
to play with me if I could. I have a strong heart; I can withstand being played
with. Don’t pity this delicate flower of mine.]
The other players inside the instance didn’t have time to
read the barrage comments. As soon as the group of players finished talking,
they immediately sprang into action and chased after the fleeing teenager.
If he was indeed the NPC called Su Qing, there was no way
they would let him escape. After all, there was nothing better than him to
attract the boss’s attention.
The teenager’s running speed wasn’t fast, so even though the
players were slightly delayed, they quickly caught up to him.
Ruan Qing looked at the person blocking his path and
immediately changed direction to run, but there were people on his left as
well.
Not just on his left, there were people surrounding him from
all sides, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
Seeing the group of people approaching him, Ruan Qing
instinctively backed away, but there was nowhere left to retreat. He was
cornered by the group, with no chance of escape.
The players looked at the frail-looking teenager in front of
them, still somewhat skeptical that he could kill someone.
Just a moment ago, they couldn’t see clearly because the
teenager turned and ran too quickly, but now he was right in front of them.
They could clearly see his eyes shining like stars, especially bright in the
sunlight.
Pure and pristine.
Like the most beautiful gem in the world. Especially when the
teenager appeared nervous and anxious, a thin layer of mist seemed to hover in
his clear eyes, stunningly beautiful.
It was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Moreover, after being cornered by them against the wall, a
trace of panic appeared in the beautiful eyes of the teenager. However, he
still tried to maintain a calm facade and spoke, his voice trembling slightly,
betraying him. “What... what do you want?”
The players looked at the pensive teenager in front of them.
His appearance didn’t quite match the description of the arrogant and
tyrannical school bully as others had portrayed.
Could they have been deceived?
Ruan Qing looked at the unfamiliar group of people in front
of him, tightly gripping his sleeves. Who were these people?
Why did they stop him?
These people had a cold and ruthless look in their eyes, and
their aura resembled that of players.
However, Ruan Qing, who participated in this game, had a
clear understanding that he had never seen this group of people before.
Could it be related to the advancement to an advanced
instance?
The previous group of players hadn’t even died yet, and the
system had already brought in a new batch of players?
It seemed plausible. After the instance advanced to an
advanced level, it could be considered as two different instances compared to
before, although they shared the same map. It was normal for other players to
enter as well.
But... why were they trying to capture him? Did they have new
clues about him?
What kind of clues did they think he had on him...?
Although he indeed knew more clues than anyone else, these
people shouldn’t know about that.
No, that’s not right. Perhaps they wanted to use him to
attract the monster’s attention. After all, the monster had a somewhat special
attitude towards him. If they pushed him out at a critical moment, they might
be able to buy some time and opportunities to escape.
Ruan Qing tightly clenched his sleeves, and his fingers
turned slightly pale from the pressure.
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the teenager, the others
frowned. Could a teenager like this really drive someone to death?
That person named Song Yu, could it be... a suicide for love?
For example, after being played with by the teenager, he became fragile and
jumped off a building or something?
It didn’t seem impossible, considering that people at this
age tended to be more sensitive.
But whether he was driven to death by the teenager’s bullying
or played with emotionally to death, it should still be possible to use the
teenager to attract the boss’s attention.
After all, if it was a suicide for love, it probably wouldn’t
be easily let go of. Otherwise, how could a person become a ghost due to
obsession?
The players decided to take the person with them and push him
out at a critical moment to buy time for their own escape.
Their mission was to survive for seven days, and during these
seven days, they needed to find any possible chance of survival.
The others didn’t have any objections to this decision. Ruan
Qing had a lot of objections, but obviously, this group of people wouldn’t
listen to him at all.
Fortunately, they probably considered him too weak and didn’t
bother to tie him up.
Ruan Qing was forced to follow this group of people, but
fortunately, the eerie feeling from earlier seemed to have stayed behind. He
let out a sigh of relief.
However, as Ruan Qing continued walking, his heart sank. He
looked up and glanced at the big sun in the sky.
There was no piercing sensation, nor any warmth. It felt as
if the sun itself was fake.
Would ghosts be afraid of this sun?
Ruan Qing didn’t need to think to know the answer: No, they
wouldn’t be afraid.
When they were at the bottom of the teaching building
earlier, that place was directly under the sun, but it had no effect
whatsoever.
No, perhaps it wasn’t that they weren’t afraid of the sun.
Maybe the sun... had some sort of problem.
A few players were preparing to go to the archives to
investigate Song Yu’s situation. They wanted to see if there was any way to
restrain him or fulfill his obsession.
“Hurry up.” Perhaps Ruan Qing was walking too slowly, as the
player with scars on his face behind him forcefully pushed him. Ruan Qing
staggered from the strong push, almost falling to the ground.
Ruan Qing glanced faintly at the player and silently
quickened his pace.
The players were actually walking quite fast, almost as fast
as running. Ruan Qing had a hard time keeping up, but fortunately, they were
almost at the archives.
However, when they were about to reach the archives, they saw
a group of people walking towards them from afar.
If... they could be called walking.
They couldn’t even be called human beings. Their bodies were
not intact, and some of them were even carrying their heads. The group moved
crookedly along the corridor, their bodies twisted, causing an indescribable
sense of fear.
Clearly, they couldn’t be human; they were ghosts.
After Ruan Qing clearly saw the group of ‘people’, his pupils
contracted, his eyes widened, and his expression froze instantly. He stood
still, rigid, in place, with almost no color left in his delicate face.
Those were... the monsters from the exam room. They had
actually come out.
Moreover, they were different from their state in the exam
room. At least in the exam room, they still resembled humans to some extent,
but now their entire bodies were twisted and incomplete.
This just became corpse party lmao
