Chapter 35
Qu Bai's hair was slightly messy. He was standing under Wang Xiaolei's bed, wearing only a navy blue pajamas. He must have arrived in a hurry.
He loosened his grip on Wang Xiaolei's hand and looked at Yi Tu, who was also wearing pajamas.
"I heard Xiaolei's voice, and the dormitory door was not closed."
Qu Bai's answer wasn't an answer at all, but rather a simple statement. He then whispered to comfort his boyfriend who was still sitting on the bed.
"Zizhen is fine, I'm here."
It took Wang Xiaolei a long time to react, and he almost jumped off the bed and jumped into Qu Bai's arms.
The little face, splattered with blood, turned pale, and he couldn't speak clearly for a while.
A few seconds before Luo Qi was beheaded by that thing, he happened to hear the sound of someone climbing on the bed and woke up instantly.
However, before he could say anything, the thin figure with the dormitory manager's head raised the axe, and the dormitory manager's voice rang in his ears:
"This is good, this is good, it should be just right, right?"
The next second, blood splattered everywhere and Luo Qi's head was cut off.
Wang Xiaolei screamed in fear, but he soon realized how stupid it was to do so.
He'll attract that thing!
Fortunately for him, the thing holding Rosie's head wasn't interested in him.
It got out of bed happily, grabbing its fresh head, and then couldn't wait to change its head.
Soon after Qu Bai arrived, Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu arrived as well.
Watching Qu Bai patiently patting Wang Xiaolei's back over and over again, giving him the comfort he needed.
Yitu was somewhat surprised at the depth of their relationship. As if noticing his gaze, Qu Bai began to explain:
"Actually, Xiaolei is very afraid of these things...but he entered the gambler's game for me."
Therefore, protecting his boyfriend is his responsibility and obligation.
Yitu was slightly stunned. Wang Xiaolei actually entered the game voluntarily?
At this time, Wang Xiaolei, who had recovered, began to feel embarrassed. He scratched his head and said:
"Ah, not really. It's just that Brother Hao hasn't been normal for a while. I thought he was cheating on me, so I was very sad. Even though I was sad, I wanted to be with him even more, and then..."
"I just came in."
Wang Xiaolei paused and reluctantly explained himself: "The game must have misunderstood what I meant."
When he finished speaking, Qu Bai rubbed his head with a doting look on his face.
Yitu: “…” I’m full.
"That's right!" Wang Xiaolei suddenly remembered something. "That thing not only knocked on our dormitory door, but also knocked on Dormitory 311!"
"Wang Peiqi opened the door for that thing. I don't know if he's dead or not."
He briefly told the others what happened that night, and they all knew what happened afterwards.
There was no pattern in the dormitory that Ye Li chose. After all, it was a club card game of accidents and luck.
But it was inevitable that dormitory 307 was chosen.
Because Luo Qi is ranked last in the game, he is the priority target of the ghost NPC and the priority target of the ghost NPC.
If they had stayed alert during the night, they might have escaped, but Rosie fell asleep.
Yitu and others stood at the door of dormitory 311. Before they could knock on the door, the dormitory door opened from the inside.
Wang Peiqi's ordinary enough face appeared in everyone's sight. He was wearing striped pajamas, and a corner of a dog-tooth-shaped white porcelain bone chain was faintly visible around his neck.
He keenly noticed Yi Tu's gaze and subconsciously put the thing back.
"You're okay?" Wang Xiaolei exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Peiqi nodded and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong there? I heard a noise."
"Luo Qi is dead." Yitu looked at him, quietly waiting for his reaction.
Wang Peiqi's expression remained unchanged, just as he had imagined.
After all, a person who dares to open the door to ghosts must have an extremely strong mental quality.
"I'm fine. It just came in to look around, and left on its own when it didn't find what it wanted."
Wang Peiqi finished his explanation in a few simple words, and Han Wei, who was standing aside, hesitated to speak.
What it wants is the head on your neck, how could it not find it?
But in the end, no one spoke again, so he didn't dare to ask more.
Since we saw that the person was fine, there was no need for us to stay for too long.
Qu Bai gave Wang Xiaolei a few more instructions, then walked back with Yi Tu.
"Do your roommates know that you're out of the dormitory right now?"
When they were almost at dormitory 304, Yitu suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Qu Bai turned his head and caught a glimpse of the man's face as calm as water.
"Well, maybe."
Qu Bai looked calm as he turned around and walked away.
Yitu stared at his departing back thoughtfully, and a cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Curious?"
Yitu turned to look at Jiang Hanyu who was standing next to him. The man's brown eyes were dark and his emotions were unrecognizable.
He was not only curious about the props used by Qu Bai, but also wondered about Wang Peiqi's exceptionally low presence among the players.
If Wang Xiaolei hadn't mentioned it, none of them would have imagined that such a person existed.
Wang Peiqi's face and voice are so ordinary that almost no one can remember his features.
Because people associate things based on memory points, but ghosts don't.
But even with such a person, after he showed Ye the door, the thing didn't even find its head.
Most likely, it’s not that Wang Peiqi’s brain is inappropriate, but that it ignores the existence of this person.
Props? Yitu was aroused and nodded.
"Very curious."
The man smiled with an ambiguous tone: "I'll tell you."
--
On the morning of the third day, people arrived in the classroom early.
Another line of red words appeared on the blackboard behind the student. It was Zheng Xiuxiu's statement.
Xi Tao stood there and watched for a long time. All the words that Zheng Xiuxiu had erased from the blackboard yesterday returned to her, including the word "Xi".
There were few people in the classroom at that time, and no one paid attention to what she was thinking. It was not until Mu Cheng called her that she returned to her seat with light steps.
Ji Han, who was sitting behind her, looked at the empty space around him and unconsciously fiddled with the hard love letter.
The love letter that was peeled off Zheng Xiuxiu's face became as smooth as a large fish scale after being washed, and the font on it could not be seen clearly.
To be on the safe side, Ji Han put it in his pocket.
Placed together with the love letter was her ID card.
Ji Han's fingers fumbled to pinch the identity card. It was only the third day, and only 10 of the 16 players were left.
Among these ten people, how many can survive to the end?
Qu Bai? Mu Cheng? Or the couple who won first place?
Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu got up a little late today. With only five minutes left, they ran into Wang Peiqi downstairs who was also about to be late.
The three of them were unfamiliar with each other, so no one spoke and they all went upstairs in silence.
Just as they were about to reach the classroom, suddenly a shadow of a heavy object seemed to pass over their heads and fell straight down.
Then they heard the sound of something falling, which was extremely dull.
Yitu subconsciously looked outside and saw a thin female corpse covered in blood falling on the black snow.
She still couldn't find a suitable head, and as if she couldn't escape the shackles of death, she jumped from the building again.
After a while, Ye Li's body disappeared.
Its various parts quickly fell apart, squirming and crawling on the black snow, and soon disappeared from the spot.
The three of them stopped for a moment and then entered the classroom on time.
There was a physical education class that morning, and it was scheduled so early that Yitu felt uneasy.
Especially since his wounds hadn't healed yet, any movement would be enough to kill him.
When it was half past eight, an NPC student stood up. It was obvious that he was the class's sports committee member.
"Classmates, it's time for physical education class."
The physical education teacher's expression was not very good and his voice was trembling.
After hearing this notice, some female students couldn't help crying.
"I don't want to go to gym class. I don't want to die!"
"Why is there still a physical education class? We've already had it!"
"I'm definitely going to die this time, I'm definitely going to die!"
The students were all terrified and afraid of something unusual, while the players were at a loss as to what was going on.
Yitu asked the girl sitting on his left:
"What happened in your last gym class?"
The girl's hands were shaking with nervousness. She gave Yitu a strange look:
"Weren't you in last gym class? You almost died!"
Yitu was stunned, "I almost died?"
"Yeah, 123 wooden man, 123 wooden man, you were almost caught by the wooden man!"
The girl's voice suddenly became sharp, which made Yitu frown.
He wanted to ask a few more questions, but the students in the class had already stood up and followed the sports committee member out.
There was no other way, the rest of the players had to follow suit.
The students walked ahead in the drifting black snow, and the players covered themselves up wherever they could.
The black snow will leave marks on their bodies, and if they get too much, their bodies will become stiff.
Five minutes later, the physical education committee member took them to the indoor gymnasium.
Pushing open the door, they saw the physical education teacher.
"Fuck!"
Wang Xiaolei's exclamation sounded behind him, and Yitu's heart couldn't help but sink.
The huge and terrifying figure standing in front of them at this moment was the giant lizard that ate Li Qiwen.
No one expected that this thing was actually their physical education teacher, and the scene of it eating people seemed to have just happened before their eyes.
The monitor lizard swung its rough and hard tail boredly, its tiny eyes staring at the many students in front of it, and its long forked tongue poked out of its mouth and then retracted.
After his greedy and cold gaze swept over everyone one by one, the giant lizard made a hoarse sound:
"Classmates, welcome to my class."
"Today we won't play 123 Statue. I know you don't like it, so let's change the game."
"How about we play hide-and-seek in this class?"
The monitor lizard swung its tail excitedly and accidentally brushed past a girl's feet, scaring her so much that she screamed and dodged.
But the monitor lizard teacher didn't care at all. He couldn't wait to open his sharp mouth and announced:
"Let's get started now! Students who are caught will be eaten by the teacher!"
"The teacher is very hungry today. I want to eat a few more kids. Don't let the teacher catch you!"
"Teacher is going to count, 120, 119, 118..."
Before anyone could react, the game had already begun.
The NPC students scattered instantly and rushed out of the gymnasium, leaving only ten gamers who didn't understand the situation.
"What's going on?" Han Wei was confused. "Hide and seek means... the whole school?!"
"I don't know what the rules of the game are, but we can't get caught by it." Ji Han shook his head.
They had already witnessed how terrifying this thing was in the Chinese class yesterday.
With its unmatched speed and unshakable size, once caught, it will be torn into pieces in an instant.
Ji Han was the first person to leave the gymnasium. Compared with the other two girls, she always kept to herself and didn't rely on anyone.
Neither Zheng Xiuxiu nor Xitao's attempts to win her over changed her attitude. She was cautious, which was not like someone of her age.
Yitu looked at her determined back as she left, the physical education teacher's countdown still ringing in his ears.
"100, 99, 98..."
Others, in pairs or alone, left the gym and began looking for places to hide.
Two minutes was too short. Even at a sprinting speed, one could only escape from the gymnasium by three or four hundred meters.
Qu Bai and Wang Xiaolei did not leave in a hurry, and could even be considered calm.
By the time the two of them arrived at the teaching building, Wang Xiaolei's pace became much more relaxed.
"Brother Hao, as long as we don't get caught by that thing, it's okay, right?" He asked, holding his boyfriend's hand.
Qu Bai took him upstairs. "That's the way it should be, but if the rules of the game are just to not get caught, it's a bit simple."
Wang Xiaolei's eyes widened. "Is this so easy? If that giant lizard sees us, we won't be able to escape!"
Qu Bai shook his head, "Zizhen, the gambler's game is definitely unfair. It gave us time to escape, but it didn't limit the area where we could hide. This is already a problem."
Wang Xiaolei didn't quite understand, so he had to lower his head and think hard.
Qu Bai touched her boyfriend's head and said with a smile:
"It's okay. With me here, this game will be meaningless."
Wang Xiaolei thought of Qu Bai's first-level skill card, and immediately felt relieved, so he nodded vigorously.
After the two climbed to the top floor of the teaching building, they stopped in the corridor. Behind them were classrooms with locked doors.
Wang Xiaolei leaned on the railing and looked down, and from time to time he could see a few students running past downstairs.
Some are NPC students, while others are players.
The former was in a hurry and hiding here and there in panic, fearing that something would jump out from behind him.
The latter is Qu Bai's roommate, Jiang Zhong, the man who always holds a glasses cloth.
Jiang Zhong passed by downstairs with steady steps. When Wang Xiaolei saw him, he was lowering his head to wipe his glasses.
"Brother Hao, this guy is so weird. Why is he still wiping his glasses?" Wang Xiaolei asked curiously.
Qu Bai looked at Jiang Zhong's departing back, and spoke after a long while:
"I'm afraid this person is not simple. We just need to take care of ourselves."
Wang Xiaolei nodded obediently. At this moment, he wanted to see where the others were and whether there were any unlucky people who had already run into the monitor lizard.
However, just as he opened the interactive area for card game owners, he heard students screaming from the back of the teaching building.
When the two heard the noise, they immediately walked to the corridor on the left side of the teaching building.
But the scene downstairs made their expressions change.
Two female students holding hands just passed by downstairs. It seemed that they wanted to go to the library behind the teaching building.
The school's library is large and has rows of bookshelves, making it easier to hide.
Most importantly, there are several student lounges in the library, and the doors of the lounges can be locked from the inside.
At this point, the small door of the library has been opened.
There was no time to run back to the dormitory, so they could only choose a closer location.
However, what Qu Bai and Wang Xiaolei did not expect was that the monitor lizard suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind them.
The two girls were so scared that they screamed and tried to run away, but one of the girls with ponytails was bitten to death on the spot.
Another girl with short hair was so frightened that she sat on the ground, trembling.
She could only watch as the monitor lizard ate up all of its companions, licked its long tongue with great satisfaction, and she would be the next one.
The girl closed her eyes in despair, but the thing had no intention of attacking her.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Wang Xiaolei was stunned. He looked at the red chain tied to the girl's right leg, while the other end of the chain was tied to the monitor lizard's left limb.
The man and the beast were actually tied together.
Qu Bai's face turned very ugly, and she immediately turned to her boyfriend and said:
"Zizhen, we must go our separate ways now."
"What? No, why do we have to separate?"
Wang Xiaolei was extremely stunned and subconsciously grabbed Qu Bai's hand.
He had no idea what was going on, but Qu Bai said he wanted to break up with him, and Wang Xiaolei panicked instantly.
Qu Bai was also forced to do so. He pointed at the chains on the legs of the man and the beast downstairs and explained:
"I told you that the game would never be fair, and now the unfairness has appeared."
"That thing will randomly select a student to be his...guide dog."
Qu Bai considered his words and continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, the selected guide dog will be bound to it, that chain."
"And the guide dog chosen by the monitor lizard is to help it □□. If we stay together forever, do you understand what I mean, Zizhen?"
"I don't want to abandon you. I'm just afraid that I'll be chosen as a guide dog, and then you'll be..."
Its first hunting target was just like the two girls just now. Once one was chosen, the other one couldn't escape and was bitten to death on the ground.
Of course Wang Xiaolei understood what her boyfriend meant, but he was not prepared to face it alone.
He grabbed Qu Bai's hand, but finally gritted his teeth and let go.
They didn't know how many times the thing selected a guide dog and the interval between changes, but the time would definitely not be too long.
Only in this way can the monitor lizard quickly change its position and capture more students.
The essence of hide-and-seek is just one word: catch.
"Okay, let's go our separate ways."
Even if not for himself, he had to consider Qu Bai.
If he were chosen by the giant lizard, Qu Bai would also be in an inescapable situation.
The worst case scenario is that Qu Bai would risk his own life to save him.
Qu Bai looked at her boyfriend's expression pretending to be strong and couldn't help but kiss his cheek.
"The guide dog might be replaced every ten minutes, or at worst every five minutes. If it's not me, I'll definitely come find you."
After he finished speaking, he took out his ID card and walked to the door of a locked classroom, with Wang Xiaolei following closely behind him.
"Let me get you out of here first."
They were now too close to the monitor lizard.
After Qu Bai finished speaking, the card in his hand emitted a dazzling white light the moment it approached the door lock.
A ruby-studded key was inserted into the keyhole, and a faint light instantly leaked out from the classroom door frame, and the white door opened to them.
"Where are we going now?" Wang Xiaolei asked.
Qu Bai thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to the library first, then I'll leave."
"good."
After the two entered the white door, when Qu Bai opened the door in front of them, they appeared inside the library.
Wang Xiaolei looked around and saw rows of wooden bookshelves, and behind the bookshelves were a small coffee table and two fabric sofas.
When he saw the two people sitting on the sofa leisurely holding books, he was stunned.
"Fuck!"
"W-Why are you here?!"
Yitu was startled by the sudden sound. After putting down the book, he looked up and saw Wang Xiaolei's shocked face.
"What a coincidence. I also wanted to ask how you got in."
Two people, one tall and one short, appeared out of nowhere on the second floor of the library, which was as interesting as a magic show.
Wang Xiaolei hesitated, looked at her boyfriend and then at Yitu's smiling face.
"I, I, ah this..." How should he explain it?
