The audience in the live stream looked stunned as Li Shuyang
handed over the mineral water bottle. Then they were even more amazed by his
remark, “Is the bottle mouth too small?”
[What audacious words! How can I even listen to this?
(Yellow-faced.jpg)]
[I think it should be big enough. I know my wife well; it’s
definitely enough (Serious-faced.jpg).]
[Don’t defile my wife! How can it be enough with just one
mineral water bottle? It’s clearly not enough! Please bring a basin!]
[Actually, whether it’s big or small doesn’t matter; He won’t
need it, anyway. My wife only needs to lie down and enjoy, and I’ll take care
of the rest (Dog-headed.jpg).]
[Are you all crazy? Just because someone is beautiful, you
call them your wife? Are you kidding me? Don’t you have your own wives? He’s my
wife, OK?]
[Help! I’m already imagining him obediently holding a plastic
bottle and saying those words repeatedly. I really want to see it, ahhh!!!]
Because of his physique and appearance, Ruan Qing had long
been used to being stared at by others.
But this was the first time everyone stared at him... on that
part of his body.
Ruan Qing’s body stiffened instantly, and he subconsciously
wanted to block it, but he felt it was inappropriate and could only purse his
lips, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he stood still.
The atmosphere became somewhat strange at that moment, making
Ruan Qing feel extremely uneasy.
Finally, he glanced sideways and coldly glared at Li Shuyang,
the one who started all this.
The few people in the archive room initially felt their gaze
was impolite, but when they shifted their gaze to the teenager’s face, they
were all stunned.
The teenager’s eyes, like a painting, were slightly red at
the corners due to crying earlier, and now his exquisite face had a trace of
blush, making him even more dazzling.
In the direction where Li Shuyang was, many people in the
archive room could see clearly when the teenager glared over. The corner of his
phoenix-like eyes slightly curved, with a teardrop mole adding a charming and
innocent arc. The tassel on his ear swayed slightly with his sidelong glance,
exuding a captivating charm from deep within his bones.
That glance seemed to be able to see into people’s hearts,
and the feeling was nothing short of captivating.
But unexpectedly, there was a hint of embarrassment on the
teenager’s face at this moment, revealing a touch of clean and inexperienced
aura.
As if... he was shy?
Just because people glanced at ‘that place’ a few times...
he’s shy?
The few people in the archive room were all slightly stunned,
staring fixedly at the standing teenager.
For those in darkness, that purity was incredibly deadly; no
one could resist it.
It was like the radiance in darkness to a moth.
The audience in the live stream room went into an uproar.
[Ah ah ah! I can’t believe it! He’s actually blushing!!!]
[Whether he’s experienced or not, he’s definitely a pure and
inexperienced boy! No doubt about it! I bet five hundred points on it! He’s
definitely a pure and inexperienced boy!]
[I agree too! Looking like that and still not experiencing
the ultimate pleasure! Haven’t been through the battles of life! Such a waste!
Let me do it!!!]
The gazes of the few people made Ruan Qing feel very
uncomfortable, and in the next second, he sat back expressionless.
The table blocked Ruan Qing’s figure, and the others withdrew
their gazes, continuing with their own affairs.
Only Li Shuyang seemed to be unable to grasp the atmosphere.
He blinked his eyes and said, “Brother Su Qing, is it because the bottle
opening is too small? That’s why you haven’t answered yet.”
Before Ruan Qing could reply, he continued in a very sincere
tone, “If it’s too small, I can find a bigger one for you.”
Ruan Qing picked up the notebook on the table
expressionlessly. “No need, it’s not that urgent.”
“Huh? But holding it in for too long is bad for your health.
You really don’t need this?”
Ruan Qing: “...I don’t need it.”
After a moment of thought, Li Shuyang said, “Are you afraid
of someone seeing it? Don’t worry, Brother Su Qing, I can block it for you, and
no one will see.”
Ruan Qing really wanted to smash the notebook in his hand
directly onto Li Shuyang’s head. He held back for a moment, but couldn’t
contain himself and coldly uttered a word, “...Leave.”
“Fine,” Li Shuyang responded, retracting the bottle he had
held out.
There was still some water left in the bottle, which Li
Shuyang drank all at once. As he drank, he sneakily glanced at a certain spot
where Ruan Qing was, wearing an expression that seemed somewhat regretful. It
made Ruan Qing even more tempted to smash the notebook into his head.
The atmosphere in the archive room returned to normal as they
continued searching for information and exchanging intelligence.
However, the group hadn’t been in the archive room for long
when the bell in the corridor not far away rang.
It was a bell set up by the players when they came here. The
thread would be triggered if someone passed by the corner of the corridor,
causing the bell to ring.
Now, the bell was ringing, indicating that someone was coming
this way.
Or rather... a ghost was coming this way.
The group’s expressions turned serious; the archive room was
no longer safe. All the players didn’t waste any time, grabbing useful
information and notebooks, pushing open the archive room’s door, and running in
the opposite direction from where the bell was ringing.
Ruan Qing also left the archive room together with the
players.
He had initially planned to run at the back of the group and
find an opportunity to break away from the team, but Pei Yan, Ji Zhiyuan, and
Li Shuyang all ran beside him, leaving Ruan Qing with no chance to escape.
When it seemed like he couldn’t run any further due to
exhaustion, Pei Yan simply lifted him up in his arms.
Ruan Qing wanted to struggle, but as he caught a glimpse of
the ghost teacher, who was chasing not far behind them, he immediately tensed
up and subconsciously clutched Pei Yan’s neck, no longer daring to struggle.
After all, with his speed, he couldn’t possibly outrun that
ghost teacher.
Ji Zhiyuan and Li Shuyang, who were a step behind, looked
indifferently at Pei Yan, who was carrying Ruan Qing, and eventually shifted
their gazes away with deep thoughts.
The sun had already begun to set, and the entire sky was
tinged with a reddish glow like an evening sky, but it lacked any beauty,
instead exuding a sense of danger and foreboding.
Once it’s nighttime, the Yin energy would become heavier, and
the strength of the ghosts would greatly increase. It would be even more
difficult to deal with them at that time.
They must find a way before it got dark to deal with the
persistent ghost teacher chasing them from behind; otherwise, it would be even
harder to handle the situation at night.
The ghost teacher seemed to have been chopped up by some
sharp weapon. If he made sudden movements, his body would split into pieces.
Perhaps it would be easier to deal with him by separating his body parts?
The players glanced at each other and hid in the nearby
cafeteria, waiting silently on the second floor for the arrival of the ghost
teacher. They planned to test whether their idea would work.
If it didn’t work, they could escape in time. After all, the
ghost teacher wasn’t particularly fast, and he was the only ghost around. There
were many tables in the cafeteria, making it easy for them to shake him off.
Of course, this plan was mainly for the players to execute,
and they didn’t let Ruan Qing participate. They left him in a safer position on
the second floor of the cafeteria.
The stairs to the second floor were of the spiral type, and
the entire section was hollow, allowing someone to see the entire ground floor
hall from the edge of the second floor. They could also see the open space
outside the cafeteria through the windows.
Ruan Qing stood at the railing of the second floor, looking
at the nearby teaching building. This was the cafeteria where he had come to
eat when he first arrived.
It was also the cafeteria closest to Class 1-1.
Ruan Qing glanced at the people downstairs and the ghost
teacher stumbling toward the cafeteria. He tightly grasped the railing, trying
hard to calm himself down.
Waiting for an opportunity.
As long as the players kept the ghost teacher occupied, he
wouldn’t be chased all the time.
***
If it were a group of ghosts, the players might have to run
away, but when they saw the ghost teacher, they immediately decided to attack.
However, once they started, they realized that the ghost
teacher’s strength was extraordinary, despite his tendency to split into
pieces. In an intermediate-level instance, he would be considered a big boss,
but in this instance, he seemed to be nothing more than a small fry.
That Song Yu and the last ghost to appear in the examination
room. How powerful were they exactly?
Many of the players present had unpleasant expressions.
Although they hadn’t faced those two directly, almost every player had a rough
idea.
Encountering them would probably lead to only one option:
running away. Otherwise, it would be a dead end.
After all, most players had already experienced the terror of
those two in the mirror.
The surviving players were no newcomers; they had even
managed to disperse the ghost teacher’s body through cooperation.
After that, several players paid no attention to anything
else and immediately grabbed the shattered pieces and ran in different
directions.
Despite the ghost teacher’s body being torn into pieces, the
fragments seemed to have consciousness, struggling to return. Several players
almost failed to hold them back due to their force.
Thankfully, the separated fragments were not as strong as
when combined, and they were still controllable. The players joined forces and trapped
all the pieces in different places.
Some pieces were tied to big rocks and thrown into the water,
while others were buried under heavy stones. Once it was confirmed that the
fragments couldn’t break free, the players breathed a sigh of relief and quickly
returned to the cafeteria.
However, they discovered that the teenager who should have
stayed on the second floor... was gone.
Though the cafeteria hall was spacious, there were no
obstructions, so one could see the entire area at a glance, but they couldn’t
find the teenager.
Fang Qingyuan furrowed his brows and looked around. “Could he
have gone to the restroom?”
After all, the teenager had mentioned feeling a little unwell
and needed to use the restroom.
Ji Zhiyuan, who had returned a few minutes earlier than Fang
Qingyuan, shook his head at the suggestion. “I checked; he’s not in the
restroom.”
Li Shuyang immediately took out his phone and tried calling
Ruan Qing, but the response he got was, [The number you have dialed is
currently switched off; please try again later.]
Obviously, contacting him through the phone wouldn’t work.
Although the cafeteria could be seen at a glance, it only
applied to the dining hall. Searching for a hiding person would still be
difficult because the cafeteria had several floors, including the kitchen and
private rooms.
After players searched the restroom again and found no one,
they proceeded to search the entire cafeteria thoroughly, going up and down,
and turning almost every corner. Still, they couldn’t find the person.
Some players became impatient; they considered their time too
precious to waste on looking for an NPC.
However, a few players persisted in their search, scouring
the cafeteria multiple times. When they couldn’t find the person, they left the
cafeteria and continued searching elsewhere.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned by this turn of
events.
[They haven’t found many clues yet, but they’re searching for
an NPC instead. Is this really okay? They might lose their lives, yet they’re
still concerned about that NPC?]
[Only if he’s my wife, would I care this much. If it were
someone else missing, I guess nobody would even bother to take a look.]
[They are just too naïve. That teenager happens to be the big
boss’s beloved. What is there to worry about? Even if he encountered trouble,
the school bully won’t be affected.]
[It’s precisely because he is the big boss’s beloved that I’m
worried! If they don’t find him soon, my wife might end up looking like a rag
doll with a green head like the Hulunbuir grassland?]
