Although Ji Zhiyuan couldn’t attack Qi Yunshen, he didn’t give up and still wanted to snatch the person from Qi Yunshen’s embrace.
Perhaps Ji Zhiyuan’s actions angered Qi Yunshen, or maybe Qi Yunshen felt annoyed. He leaped backward, avoiding Ji Zhiyuan’s attack.
Then he let Ruan Qing down and produced a talisman in his hand.
However, just as Qi Yunshen took out the talisman, the sky suddenly darkened significantly, carrying a sense of foreboding and danger.
As if transitioning from day to night in an instant.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t darkness but a thickening, almost materializing gloom that directly engulfed the entire First University.
It seemed even the light was swallowed.
The ghost domain... was opening.
Meanwhile, Qi Yunshen’s figure disappeared in an instant. It seemed that for some reason, he did not enter the ghost domain.
Before disappearing, Qi Yunshen looked somewhat surprised at the transparent figure he had been neglecting.
Only then did he realize that his useless elder brother had taken away the power from Shen Yu’an while he wasn’t paying attention.
Having gained the power from Shen Yu’an, he now had enough strength to activate the ghost domain.
His older brother was really persistent.
Qi Yunshen’s eyes darkened, but it’s okay; he would help him give up.
***
After the ghost domain opened, everyone finally saw the distorted red figure nearby.
Terrifying and horrifying.
Just a glance was enough to instill fear in people’s hearts.
Qi Yunshen might be very strong, but at least he was human, and physical attacks were effective against him.
But ghosts were different.
Physical attacks were ineffective against them; one could only rely on props and escape.
So, without a second thought, Ji Zhiyuan tried to pull Ruan Qing and escape.
However, he was a step too slow.
The moment the ghost domain opened, the young man fell into the hands of the red figure.
Things happened too suddenly, without any warning, and Ruan Qing’s beautiful eyes still held a hint of confusion.
It seemed like he hadn’t yet realized what had happened.
After all, when the ghost domain opened, the world suddenly went dark, and ordinary humans needed a bit of time to adapt to the darkness.
So, after Ruan Qing experienced the sudden darkness, he felt something cold embracing him.
It took Ruan Qing several seconds to adapt to the darkness. He lifted his head in a daze.
What met his eyes was a horrifying red color; not only did the figure’s shirt get stained red, but even ‘his’ face was stained with blood.
Ruan Qing’s face instantly turned pale, and he looked at the terrifying figure in front of him. His beautiful eyes were filled with fear and dread, and he froze instantly.
In the past, Ruan Qing would probably have been scared to faint, but not this time.
However, it wasn’t much better; the corners of his frightened eyes turned red, tears quickly filled his eyes, and his delicate face turned deathly pale.
The whole person looked extremely fragile and helpless.
Ji Zhiyuan and Qi Muran both wanted to retrieve the young man, but they were utterly powerless.
In the infinite horror game’s in-game store, the props to deal with supernatural entities were the most expensive, and no one would exchange too many of them.
As soon as the ghost domain opened in this instance, it was filled with ghosts, and the props were almost depleted.
At that moment, they were utterly unable to snatch the young man back.
Qi Muran planned to block the live stream room as usual and use his book for combat.
However, the pen spirit seemed to have been prepared for him. Before he could take it out, a terrifying yin energy overwhelmed him, carrying almost substantial killing intent.
“Puff.” Qi Muran clutched his chest and knelt directly on the ground.
Even with only a quarter of ‘his’ remnant soul, the pen spirit was already terrifyingly powerful, let alone the pen spirit who had regained the powers of the little black cat and Shen Yu’an.
It had become so overpowering, almost to the point of inducing despair and helplessness, leaving people unable to muster even a shred of resistance.
Ji Zhiyuan also quickly followed in the footsteps of Qi Yunshen. He took a glance at the young man in the shadow’s arms, covered his chest, took a few steps back, and eventually disappeared into the small forest.
Only by staying alive could he had a chance to return to this instance and take the person away.
The red figure did not pursue him, but looked at the person in his arms.
Ruan Qing was confined in the red figure’s arms, wanting to struggle but unable to move a bit.
The red figure didn’t want to create any illusions to make the young man willingly stay with ‘him.’ Instead, ‘he’ directly reached out, pinched the young man’s fair and jade-like chin, and bit ‘his’ thin lips.
Then ‘he’ lowered ‘his’ head.
Ruan Qing widened his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, tears uncontrollably sliding down, and his slender figure was filled with vulnerability.
Just as the shadow was about to kiss, a shuttlecock suddenly appeared next to them.
No, it wasn’t a shuttlecock.
As the shuttlecock approached the two, it appeared as if a small knife had sliced it open from the side. A crack emerged, and it continued to widen.
It opened like a mouth, exposing densely packed sharp teeth inside.
It looked incredibly terrifying.
The red figure’s movement paused, and the next second, holding the young man, ‘he’ sidestepped to avoid the attacking shuttlecock.
The shuttlecock, seeing that its initial bite missed, tenaciously turned back and continued to bite towards them.
The ghosts watching nearby were all shocked, unable to understand why the little girl had the courage to attack the Ghost King.
They admitted that within this ghost domain, aside from the Ghost King, the little girl was the strongest.
However, attacking the Ghost King was akin to seeking death.
Ruan Qing recognized the little girl; she was the one he had encountered on the badminton court just moments ago.
Ruan Qing’s gaze fell on the “shuttlecock” that the red figure was attacking, only to realize it wasn’t a shuttlecock at all.
It looked more like... human skin.
The red figure quickly dealt with the “shuttlecock” and approached the little girl with a sinister intent.
The little girl showed no fear, just staring at the approaching figure as if awaiting her own death.
This time, it would probably be a real death.
The little girl glanced at the young man not far away, then slowly closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Ruan Qing’s slender fingers tightened slightly. He looked towards Qi Muran, who had fallen into unconsciousness on the ground.
Even if he entered Qi Muran’s body now, it would be futile, because Qi Muran was severely injured.
Entering would only mean enduring pain on behalf of Qi Muran.
Ruan Qing ultimately lowered his gaze in helplessness, and then his eyes froze.
He glanced sideways at the assembled bones he had prepared not far away, then at the red figure approaching the little girl. A bold idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
...It seemed like nobody was there to disturb him now.
Ruan Qing closed his eyes, ready to enter Qi Muran’s body. However, just as he was about to enter, he suddenly realized that even without entering, he could feel a familiar sensation.
It was from the book.
Ruan Qing extended his left hand, and indeed, the book appeared at his fingertips.
Ruan Qing gazed at the red figure with ‘his’ back turned, struggled to swallow, and raised the hand holding the floating book a bit higher, aiming it at the red figure. Then he closed his eyes.
The system, unable to leave the instance, completely possessed Qiao Nuo.
Qiao Nuo was still cleaning up shredded paper in the school building, and the sudden opening of the ghost domain had taken the system some time to reach him.
Upon arriving, he saw Ruan Qing’s hand rapidly flipping through the book. Surprisingly, it hadn’t stopped even after flipping halfway.
The system widened his eyes, pupils contracting, and with a tone filled with fear and panic, he exclaimed, “Don’t!!!”
the system is so worried about the book. i rlly dont think its that big of a deal lmao
