Chapter 34
"I never meant to hurt her. I didn't know she couldn't look in the mirror."
Xitao choked several times, covering her face with her hands, and her transparent tears moistened her slender fingers, making her look particularly pitiful.
"Who knew that thing would end up on her face? I tried to stop her, but she was like crazy, tearing her face apart..."
"I could only watch helplessly as her skin peeled off layer by layer."
Xitao raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her little face was already red from crying.
The two people standing in front of her hadn't said a word yet, and Xi Tao felt inexplicably panicked.
Yi Tu had nothing to say. Although they did not witness the entire process of Zheng Xiuxiu's death, it was definitely related to Xi Tao.
No matter how much Xitao explains, who will really believe it?
We are all veterans in the card game and have seen all kinds of tricks.
Xi Tao's move only made things more obvious, which was really unnecessary.
"Wipe your tears."
Yitu saw that she was crying so hard that it was tiring for both her eyes and her tears, so he handed her a tissue.
Xi Tao was stunned for a moment, then took it with sobs.
She thought her pity trick had worked a little, so she raised her head and forced a weak smile, but it quickly froze on her face.
"Thanks....."
The two men had disappeared by the time she lowered her head to wipe her tears.
When they were going back, they happened to pass by the dormitory of class monitor Ji Han.
Ji Han sat alone at the table, looking dazed, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The moment she looked up, she caught a glimpse of two people passing by outside the window. She was about to stand up but sat back down.
Yi Tu felt a slight stir in his heart when he saw that she was obviously hesitant to speak.
On the way back, he opened the card room owner interaction area.
After Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu's perspectives were closed, the players' attention did not decrease, but it did distract a lot of attention.
Among them, there must be players who switched to the perspective of Zheng Xiuxiu or Xi Tao.
[Anonymous Player 320: This woman is really good at pretending. She clearly put the mirror on Zheng Xiuxiu's desk! !
Anonymous player 459: To be honest, Zheng Xiuxiu can only blame herself for this. She couldn't guess it, but others did. After that, she even liked to make enemies for herself. If she doesn't die, who will die?
Anonymous player 576: What the hell?! What the hell just happened?! Can anyone tell me?! I didn't cut to their perspectives!
Anonymous player 900: Plus 1 plus 1! My perspective has always been on Wang Xiaolei, and the facts prove that my decision was right (dog head, jpg)
Anonymous player 1010: It hurts me too. Only Wang Xiaolei can get close to those two (spreading his hands)
Anonymous player 1290: Although but!!! Let’s get to the point!!!
Anonymous Player 177: Ahem, here it comes. What happened was that Xi Tao and Ji Han were chatting, and somehow the conversation ended up getting to Zheng Xiu Xiu, and then that guy figured it out (pouting.jpg)
Anonymous player 321: This is also possible? I didn't realize this little white rabbit was so smart???
Anonymous Player 497: Hmm, she's more than just clever. Alas, it's also Zheng Xiuxiu's fault for being so dumb. She fell right into the trap and couldn't escape.
Yitu took a look at the interactive area and already had a general idea of what had happened.
That night, Zheng Xiuxiu made things difficult for Xitao because she had deliberately mentioned the facial mask incident during the day.
What is strange is that Xitao was able to swallow this anger, not talk back, and even apologized pitifully to Zheng Xiuxiu.
She seemed to have been caught by Zheng Xiuxiu, but because of the existence of the viewing area, she spoke very vaguely.
Xitao begged Zheng Xiuxiu not to be angry and kept trying to compromise.
But Zheng Xiuxiu didn't appreciate it, and even mocked her:
"Why are you still pretending in front of me? Are you going to use that disgusting skill card of yours on me too?"
"You must be reluctant to part with it, how about we guess——"
"Stop it!" Xi Tao interrupted her with a scream, her whole body trembling.
"Why do you have to make things difficult for me? What did I do wrong that you are targeting me like this?"
"We're both players in the same card game, both helpless. Do you really have to force me to death?!"
Zheng Xiuxiu laughed, "How old are you this year? You can still say such funny things."
"Do you know that players in a card game are inherently competitors? Am I making things difficult for you? Am I targeting you?"
"When your good brother spoke up for you, why didn't you ask him why he embarrassed me?!"
Zheng Xiuxiu was so angry that she threw the cup, and it hit Xitao's feet. She jumped up in fright, her face full of fear.
"Listen, if Mu Cheng dares to stab me in the back, I don't mind dragging you down with me before I die!"
As soon as these words came out, Xi Tao froze in place.
"Get out of here now. I'm annoyed by the sight of you."
Xitao turned around and walked out of the door in a daze. Zheng Xiuxiu was right, they were originally competitors.
Why did she only recognize the truth now? As long as Zheng Xiuxiu was still alive, every day she spent at the poker table would be a day of fear for her.
Because Zheng Xiuxiu knew her skill card, that woman's skill card was a random copy of other people's skill cards, and she was just the unlucky one who happened to be chosen.
If Zheng Xiuxiu tells Mu Cheng about her skill card - Vassal of the Strong, the skill card will become invalid immediately.
The failure of the skill card was not scary. What she feared most was Mu Cheng's revenge.
This was only her third round with Mu Cheng in and out of the card room, but she knew that this man had a strong sense of revenge and attached great importance to rankings.
Mu Cheng's identity card suit is spades, which represents killing. He is the kind of person who would find ways to kill players for the sake of ranking.
The reason why Xitao used this skill card was because Mucheng wanted to kill her at that time.
She had no choice. As long as Zheng Xiuxiu told Mu Cheng the truth, the consequence of deceiving the madman would be death.
Xi Tao sniffed. She could only stay in the dormitory of the class monitor Ji Han for a while and go back when the door was opened.
I must find a way to kill Zheng Xiuxiu. When this thought came to my mind, cold sweat broke out in Xitao's palms.
What happened next happened so smoothly that the moment Xitao figured it out, she was already guessing the conditions of Zheng Xiuxiu's death.
Coincidentally, she saw a mirror on Ji Han's desk.
Of course there are mirrors in their dormitories. Girls love beauty, so it is impossible for them not to have mirrors.
But neither she nor Zheng Xiuxiu liked taking photos, especially Zheng Xiuxiu, who almost never took them out.
When Xi Tao saw Ji Han's mirror, for some reason she suddenly asked:
"Squad leader, when you put on a facial mask, do you do it in front of a mirror?"
Ji Han answered without thinking: "Of course I will face the mirror, otherwise what if it gets stuck crookedly?"
Xi Tao suddenly laughed, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten even this."
Why can't they find the mask? It's because the owner has already put the mask on his face, but the careless owner just forgot to remove it.
"Squad leader, can you lend me your mirror? I accidentally broke mine."
Ji Han was washing clothes. He took his wet hands out of the water and let Xi Tao take them herself.
Xitao took the mirror, and Tiantian thanked her and left.
By the time she finally reacted, Zheng Xiuxiu was already dead.
While Zheng Xiuxiu was taking a shower, Xitao placed Ji Han's mirror on her desk.
And because this mirror belonged to Ji Han, Zheng Xiuxiu had never seen it before, so she did not put it away or throw it away immediately.
If it was Xitao's, Zheng Xiuxiu would throw it away immediately, and if it was her own, she would just put it away.
But if it is an unfamiliar mirror, Zheng Xiuxiu will ask who it belongs to.
Sure enough, Zheng Xiuxiu asked Xitao, and after Xitao answered her honestly, she kept looking at her with strange and frightened eyes.
This made Zheng Xiuxiu feel confused and uneasy.
"What are you doing?"
"Xiu Xiu, your face..."
Zheng Xiuxiu was stunned, "What's wrong with my face?"
Xi Tao played the role very well, she was completely deceived.
When Zheng Xiuxiu went to the mirror and looked at her face carefully, she suddenly found that her originally clean and white face was suddenly covered with layer upon layer of white.
These coverings are piled thickly on the face, like the bark of an old tree.
Zheng Xiuxiu looked at her face in horror. She didn't know how this could happen when she was just taking a shower.
She stood up and looked at Xitao, who was startled when she saw her face clearly.
Zheng Xiuxiu suddenly realized that she had been tricked by this bitch.
She was about to speak when she felt a tickling itch on her face.
Zheng Xiuxiu looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't control her hands. They began to tear off the mask, which was not a mask, layer by layer.
Layer after layer, just as they were put on, they were all torn off.
Until the last layer of white covering disappeared, her face was finally completely clean.
Zheng Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief instantly. Everything was fine. She tore off the mask and stopped wearing it.
However, when she suddenly saw the blood-red face reflected in the mirror, her pupils suddenly dilated and her heart suddenly stopped beating.
It turns out that the death statement on the blackboard is really just a simple statement.
Since you are wearing a mask, why do you need to take it off?
Zheng Xiuxiu died in front of her. Xitao pinched her numb fingertips and forced herself to calm down.
Ji Han, who had just arrived, looked at the scene in shock.
"....What did you do?!"
--
Not long after Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu returned to the dormitory, it was time to lock the dormitory building.
Yitu was so sleepy that he used his last bit of strength to climb onto the bed. Fortunately, his wound did not break open, so he lay down peacefully.
Before falling asleep, he did not forget to remind Jiang Hanyu to lock the door.
Although it cannot prevent the dormitory management, at least the dirty things outside the door cannot get in.
Dormitory 304 was the first room on this floor to turn off the lights. After 304 had quieted down, the lights in dormitory 307 where Wang Xiaolei was located were still not turned off.
Wang Xiaolei went to bed early in the morning, while the uncle Luo Qi and the young man Han Wei who shared the same dormitory with him were still talking downstairs.
Their voices were low and it was hard to hear what they were saying. Wang Xiaolei was too lazy to find out, but it was most likely related to Zheng Xiuxiu's death tonight.
The interactive area of the card room owner is open to all players. All players in the card room can see the interactive messages and know the general process.
Xi Tao not only handed Zheng Xiuxiu a mirror, she also seduced Zheng Xiuxiu to look in the mirror.
In this way, Xi Tao, who had clearly harmed others, saw her recommendation votes rise little by little and surpassed Victor Han.
Luo Qi was still ranked last. The two of them complained quietly for a while in the lower bunk, and then went to bed before lights out.
When the power to the dormitory building was turned off, all the lights in the building went out and the world instantly became dark and silent.
Luo Qi opened and closed his eyes frequently in the dark night, and was too anxious to sleep.
He had to think of a way to surpass the person in front of him, otherwise he would always be worried.
You know, NPC ghosts will prioritize attacking the last-ranked player. He always has a bad feeling that something will happen tomorrow.
Although the players around him died mysteriously one after another in the past two days, he was unexpectedly lucky and avoided all of them.
This made him happy but also more uneasy.
How could luck always be good?
Luo Qi couldn't help but open his eyes again and stared at the empty corner of the dormitory in a daze.
Before he left the classroom in the afternoon, he took a look at the changed schedule.
There is only one physical education class tomorrow morning, and the rest are self-study. In the afternoon, we are scheduled to watch a movie in the theater. I think it is related to the progress of the card game plot.
There was only that confusing physical education class... The more Luo Qi thought about it, the colder he felt.
At this moment, a dark shadow walked past the window.
He was startled and cold sweat broke out on his back.
That was definitely not the dormitory manager of this building. You know, dormitory managers must carry flashlights with them when they patrol, but that guy didn't have one.
It's haunted again, it's haunted again!
Luo Qi angrily thought of the bloody hand that crawled into the house the night before. He was still frightened.
He clutched the quilt tightly, looked at Wang Xiaolei who was fast asleep across from him, and then looked at Han Wei who was motionless on his right. The silent dormitory made him feel uneasy and panic.
He could only force himself to close his eyes and fall asleep.
But that shadow kept lingering in his mind until someone knocked on the dormitory door and Luo Qi suddenly opened his eyes.
The knock on the door wasn't loud, but it was enough to wake up everyone in dormitory 307.
Wang Xiaolei sat up in fright, but the knocking on the door continued even though he was still half asleep and hadn't reacted yet.
"Who's outside?" Han Wei also sat up and asked hesitantly.
The person outside the door didn't answer, but just knocked on the door stubbornly.
This instantly reduced the possibility that they were players to zero.
Firstly, it is almost impossible for players to visit each other at night, and secondly, players will not keep silent.
It was unclear whether the thing outside the door couldn't speak or was deliberately luring them to open the door.
Wang Xiaolei was very scared. Her boyfriend was not around at the moment, so she curled up in bed wrapped in a quilt, wishing she could squeeze together with Luo Qi.
"What the hell is that? It's so scary!"
Luo Qi was also afraid, but he was able to maintain his composure on the surface.
"I just...seemed to see a shadow outside the window. It was as thin as a monkey."
Wang Xiaolei couldn't help but shudder. "Stop talking, stop talking. How can I sleep like this?"
"I want to go find my boyfriend. This is too scary."
"Go ahead, that thing outside might not have left yet."
After the knocking sound stopped, no one dared to breathe. Luo Qi stared at the window and kept talking back at them.
"Are you gone?" Han Wei frowned and wanted to get out of bed to confirm.
"Don't go down!" Wang Xiaolei said hurriedly, "What if he doesn't leave? He's standing at the door!"
Victor Han was also a little scared by what he said, so he simply gave up the idea.
"You'd better go to sleep. People who sleep through the nights at the card game usually don't die."
"I fell asleep, it's not like I can't wake up!"
Wang Xiaolei muttered angrily, fearing that the thing outside the door would break in.
Fortunately, they waited for a while and there was no movement outside the door. Only then did Wang Xiaolei lie back down with peace of mind.
It was a false alarm and the three of them couldn't sleep. Luo Qi even stared out the window.
At this moment, a shadow passed by the window again, and Luo Qi screamed in fright.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" He pointed out the window, his words barely comprehensible. "There's a ghost! There's a ghost! The ghost has no head, no head!"
Wang Xiaolei was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed. He buried his head in the quilt and didn't dare to look outside.
"Brother, did you really see it clearly?"
Victor Han saw nothing, there was clearly no one outside the window.
Luo Qi excitedly wanted to explain, but before he could open his mouth, the familiar knock on the door sounded again from a distance.
"It went to another dormitory?" Wang Xiaolei quietly poked his head out. "311, or 304?"
Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu live in dormitory 304, while Wang Peiqi lives alone in dormitory 311.
His only roommate, Li Qiwen, also died during the day.
"It's 311." Han Wei listened for a while and said affirmatively.
"He's alone...will he be okay?" Wang Xiaolei was a little worried.
"He's stupid, can he really open the door for that thing?"
As soon as Luo Qi finished speaking, he heard the sound of a door opening next door.
"Fuck?"
The three of them were stunned. Wang Peiqi actually opened the door for that thing?
Just when they didn't know what was going on, a few minutes later, the sound of a door closing was heard again at 311.
".....Are you okay?" Wang Xiaolei asked in a low voice.
Victor Han didn’t hear any more noise: “It’s okay now.”
"That's good, that's good." Wang Xiaolei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lay down.
307 fell completely silent.
That night, Yitu heard someone knocking on the door next door in a daze.
Although the sound is not loud, it is really noisy.
He opened his eyes after being woken up, and it was quiet outside the window, as if nothing had happened.
But after a while, a thin figure passed by the window, with nothing above the neck.
It has no neck.
Yi Tu couldn't help but frown. What appeared in the dormitory building last night was just Ye Li's remains.
And tonight, what appeared here, except for the head, was Ye Li's complete body.
They quickly pieced together Ye Li again, and this thing looked like it was looking for its head.
Yitu couldn't sleep. He watched the headless girl walking towards the stairs.
Dormitory 301, where Qu Bai and Mu Cheng are located, is right at the entrance of the stairs.
But the familiar knock on the door did not sound. Yi Tu waited for a long time. When sleepiness came over him again, Ye Li's copy came back.
This time, the area above its neck was no longer empty, but instead had a large head that was clearly disproportionate to its size.
Yitu was stunned for a moment, and after careful identification, he found that it was one of the two dormitory managers.
It didn't knock on the door of Room 301 just now, but went to the dormitory management office downstairs and killed the short and fat dormitory management officer.
Yi Tu was quite shocked, and what made him even more uneasy was that Ye Li was holding a bunch of keys and an axe dripping with blood in his hand.
It walked past dormitory 304 with its extremely uncomfortable and heavy head and headed back.
Yitu's heart sank. Oh no, it was going to open the door of dormitory 307.
He quickly sat up; the wound on his abdomen was pulled and it was very painful.
"You Yi? Jiang Hanyu!"
He tried to call Jiang Hanyu, but the man did not respond. He was sleeping soundly.
In desperation, Yi Tu had to get out of bed first, stand under Jiang Hanyu's bed, and reach out to pull the corner of the man's quilt.
Jiang Hanyu finally woke up. He looked up and saw Yi Tu standing below him in white pajamas, looking very well-behaved.
Subconsciously rubbed his head which was still not clear:
"Why do you have to sleep together?"
Yitu: “…?”
"Don't sleep anymore. Ye Li went to Wang Xiaolei's dormitory."
As Yi Tu finished speaking, a terrified scream suddenly rang out in the silent night. The sound came from dormitory 307.
He was stunned for a moment, and without paying attention to the dizzy Jiang Hanyu, he opened the dormitory door and looked outside.
The door of dormitory 307 had been opened by Ye Li with a key. The door was wide open, but no one came out.
At this time, Jiang Hanyu also got out of bed, and the two walked towards 307 together.
When they saw the situation in dormitory 307, Yitu's heart skipped a beat.
The blood-stained axe fell to the ground, next to it was an abandoned head.
The keychain was held in someone's hand, making slight noises as the person moved.
The thin figure that originally had no head now had a fresh and warm head on its neck.
The moment Ye Li turned around, Yitu recognized the man, Luo Qi.
Luo Qi's eyes were still wide open. He had his head chopped off while he was sleeping, and he could not close his eyes until his death.
"No, no." Luo Qi's angry and disappointed voice rang out in the dormitory. "This is totally wrong! It's not my head! It's wrong!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the fresh and warm head was taken off and thrown to the ground.
Ye Li ignored the two people standing at the door and walked out of the dormitory covered in blood.
It was only after Ye Li left that Yi Tu noticed Qu Bai standing in the dormitory.
"Why are you here?" he asked in surprise.
If Qu Bai wanted to get to 307, he would have to pass by the middle dormitory 304, but Yi Tu didn't see Qu Bai at all.
How did he get here?
