Chapter 39

Qu Bai looked at Xitao's body, which was clearly bitten by the giant lizard, but only a broken shadow was left on the spot.

A small prop for sleight of hand.

Qu Bai frowned slightly, then opened the classroom door behind him, which was emitting white light.

Xitao hid at the stairs on the third floor, her body stretched straight against the wall, her palms wet with cold sweat.

Not knowing where Qu Bai was now, Xi Tao didn't dare to breathe.

Just now, she had luckily used a fourth-level apostle card to deceive that person's eyes.

But the time that the Apostle Card could hide the player's whereabouts was very limited, and she couldn't run far at all, and Qu Bai happened to know this.

Hearing the heavy footsteps of the giant lizard frequently sounding at the stairs, Xitao gritted her teeth and decided to go downstairs first.

But just as she went down to the second floor, before she even had time to cross the corridor, Qu Bai's tall and thin figure appeared in front of her.

Xi Tao froze, staring in disbelief at the man who appeared almost out of thin air.

"How is that possible?!"

She didn't know how Qu Bai was hunting her until the giant lizard, which looked like a behemoth, walked out of a white door.

Only then did she realize that Qu Bai possessed a terrifying ability to travel through time and space.

But she had missed the best opportunity to escape from the teaching building.

Faced with Qu Bai's relentless pressure, Xi Tao couldn't help but tremble and stepped back.

"Please let me go, I was forced to do it!" Xitao tried to beg for mercy.

Qu Bai smiled, his voice light:

"Since you've done it, you should know the consequences."

[Apostle Card - The powerful one's vassal is being released. This status cannot be canceled. Countdown: five, four, three -]

Xitao looked at the prompt that popped up on the game panel in front of her, feeling extremely anxious.

Faster, faster!

"I really didn't mean it. Please let me go. If Mu Cheng hadn't forced me, how could I have hurt Wang Xiaolei?!"

Xi Tao shouted anxiously: "Wang Xiaolei is my savior, he saved my life!"

Qu Bai was stunned for a moment. "What?"

Seeing him hesitate for a second, Xi Tao immediately choked up and said:

"Xiao Lei took me to the library to meet you, but we ran into Mu Cheng on the way. When I tried to warn him, it was too late..."

[Second-level Apostle Card - The powerful one's vassal has been released successfully!]

[Current Target's Compassion Value: 25, Vigilance Value: 79, Protection Value: 22]

The moment Xitao saw the Apostle Card take effect, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qu Bai's mercy and protection values are very low, so what?

When Mu Cheng wanted to kill her, his mercy and protection values were even lower than Qu Bai's.

Just when she thought she was doomed, Mu Cheng let her go.

And now Qu Bai's various values are not low. Unless there is an accident, Qu Bai will not really kill her.

Sure enough, just as she imagined, Qu Bai looked hesitant.

"Please let me go. It wasn't me who blinded Xiaolei, it was Mucheng!"

Xi Tao said this as she carefully backed away.

She was about to retreat to the corner. As long as she passed the corner and entered the stairwell, she would have a chance to shake off Qu Bai.

As long as she can leave the teaching building area, Qu Bai will not be able to use the door to teleport unscrupulously.

Qu Bai didn't say anything. He just looked at Xi Tao as she was about to leave, as if he was really planning to give up.

The monitor lizard standing behind him was also eager to catch the prey. By now in the game, it had already been well fed.

Now it is no longer to satisfy appetite, but simply to stimulate the joy of killing.

It doesn’t matter to Qu Bai whether he can catch people or not, because after five minutes, he can tear apart the guide dog tied to him.

Xi Tao was filled with ecstasy, and the Apostle Card took effect again, saving her from death.

However, the moment she turned around and rushed to the corridor, a glaring red game prompt popped up in front of her eyes.

[The target selection is blank! The target value has been reset to zero! ]

What?

Xi Tao didn't have time to think about what was happening. The next second, her eyes went black and she was pierced to the ground by sharp claws.

Blood splattered on the white walls of the corridor, a terrifying red.

Xitao's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her originally cute face looked particularly hideous because of the pain.

Qu Bai stood in front of her with no expression on his face.

She was really too bold. She wanted to escape with just a bewitching Apostle Card.

But Qu Bai has been to the card game countless times, and the card he has seen the most is the bewitching card.

And naturally, he also carries the acolyte card that can remove mental control.

Qu Bai sighed so softly that it was almost inaudible, and it was unclear who he was feeling sorry for.

"Because he saved you, you deserve to die."

Xi Tao, whose body was pierced by the giant lizard, could no longer hear any sound. The last second before her sight disappeared was the servant's ruthless and indifferent reminder.

[Game failed! Game failed!]

Qu Bai raised his hand and glanced at his watch. There was still one minute before the monitor lizard would have to replace the guide dog.

Although he wasted a lot of time before, he still completed the task on time.

The monitor lizard that killed Xitao was not in a hurry to enjoy this delicious meal. It just tore the young girl's body into pieces as if it was playing with it.

Qu Bai couldn't help but frown. The blood in the corridor was almost forming a small river, flowing down the stairs bit by bit.

Just as he was about to leave, Qu Bai took a casual glance and saw the shiny flakes in the pile of minced meat.

Qu Bai hesitated for a moment, then walked over and picked up the blood-stained sequins.

The fourth piece of the love letter appeared, and they were only one piece away from finding the last one.

Qu Bai wiped the blood off his clothes and put it in his pocket.

--

"The mandatory mission has been refreshed." Yitu quickly noticed the changes on the game panel in front of him.

Not only did the number of love letter fragments increase, but another player's name also disappeared.

"Xitao is dead."

Yitu looked at Wang Xiaolei who was sitting there in a daze, and he didn't look very happy either.

"If this goes on, people will keep dying." Wang Xiaolei forced a smile.

Yitu didn't know how to respond, so he just glanced at his watch again.

"Physical education get out of class ends in ten minutes. We should separate."

Wang Xiaolei was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the man who had been standing by the window without saying a word.

He knew that when guide dogs changed drivers, it was best not to gather them in one classroom to avoid being caught directly by the monitor lizard.

But when Qu Bai was chosen, the monitor lizard showed no signs of attacking anyone.

The dominant position of guide dogs and monitor lizards has changed. From the beginning, they were forced by the monitor lizards to hunt players, but now they are instructing the monitor lizards to hunt a certain player.

For example, when Qu Bai chased Xi Tao.

You Yi would be like his boyfriend, it’s impossible for him and Yi Tu to be cruel, right?

Wang Xiaolei thought to himself, but before he could say anything, he saw the man turn around, his brown eyes as deep as a pool of water.

"Let's go."

The moment Yi Tu looked at him, she could not read any emotion in Jiang Hanyu's eyes.

He subconsciously grasped the door handle.

Wang Peiqi wandered aimlessly around the campus, the black snow almost completely staining his white clothes.

However, he rarely met anyone along the way, especially after the death of the NPC student.

But just as he was about to go into the cafeteria to avoid the snow, he looked up and caught a glimpse of a thin man standing not far away.

The man was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and had an ordinary appearance. Wang Peiqi couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

But it didn't matter who this person was, he had no desire to explore or communicate.

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the huge monitor lizard standing behind the man.

Wang Peiqi's pupils shrank slightly. Unfortunately, he met the player who was selected this time.

Jiang Zhong habitually took out the yellow glasses cloth from his pocket, thought for a moment, and smiled at the player who was standing still.

Although his face was very stiff, Wang Peiqi was not scared.

He just stood there motionless, and the two of them stared at each other silently for a while, until the giant lizard behind Jiang Zhong began to get impatient.

Jiang Zhong had no choice but to put away the glasses cloth in his hand, then turned around and left with the monitor lizard.

Wang Peiqi breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and his tall figure quickly disappeared in the snow.

"Kid, you don't have much time left. Why don't you kill him?" The giant lizard's hoarse voice sounded in Jiang Zhong's ears.

Jiang Zhong ignored him and just walked forward silently. He remembered that there seemed to be another player in the dormitory.

He led the monitor lizard into the dormitory gate and skillfully went up to the fourth floor.

Ji Han was lying on the bed in the dormitory with wounds all over her body, but the next second she opened her eyes instantly.

Someone is coming up with a monitor lizard!

The heavy and dull footsteps were getting closer and closer, and she had no idea who had discovered her location.

But in fact, she had never thought of escaping. After all, during Mu Cheng's arrest, almost half of the people knew her location.

After a final struggle, Ji Han got out of bed and hid in the corridor on the other side.

Jiang Zhong didn't see anyone in the dormitory, but the shape of the quilt that had not completely collapsed told him that the person had not gone far.

He thought about it and was hesitating about whether to go up or down the stairs.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of bloodstains on the wall at the left staircase.

Jiang Zhong tilted his head and asked the monitor lizard:

"If I kill someone, will you stop eating me?"

The monitor lizard laughed oddly, "Yes, yes, because I'm full! But the game isn't over yet, we can't break the rules!"

Jiang Zhong nodded in understanding. He asked the monitor lizard to stand there and wait for him, then walked towards the stairs on the left.

When Ji Han saw Jiang Zhong, there was a moment of surprise on his face.

She expected the person coming might be You Yi, Wang Xiaolei, or even Shi Ling, but she didn't expect that this person would be Jiang Zhong.

She thought that the person who came was most likely Shi Ling, and she was ready to give up struggling.

If one of them had to choose to survive, that person must be Shi Ling.

But the person who came this time was not Shi Ling, but Jiang Zhong.

Ji Han felt a moment of regret, regretting his indecision.

Jiang Zhong looked at the woman in front of him who was very calm and covered in wounds, and found it a bit strange.

"Where did you get hurt?" he asked.

Ji Han smiled and said, "I got it by exchanging with others. Do you believe it?"

Jiang Zhong nodded and actually believed her words.

"I know there are such transfer cards because I got one before. It's very painful."

Ji Han was stunned for a moment, and before he could say anything, Jiang Zhong took out a blindfold from his pocket and tried to give a gentle smile.

"It's okay, it will be fine soon."

Ji Han didn't understand what he wanted to do, so he could only watch as the man took off his black-framed glasses, wiped them again and again with a glasses cloth, and put them back on.

“You do…”

Ji Han didn't understand, but her voice soon stopped and disappeared into the air.

Not just the voice, but her hands, her legs, her whole body.

She stared with wide eyes at the man standing in front of her, who had always performed mediocrely. She could not accept this fact until her death.

She was actually erased by Jiang Zhong just like that!

Jiang Zhong looked at Ji Han who had disappeared on the spot, and after a moment of silence, he said sorry.

He didn't want to kill the squad leader, but who knew that there was no way Wang Peiqi could be chosen by the glasses.
