Chapter 38
The falling black snow ruthlessly devoured the silent campus, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
The dark bloodstains had no time to be covered up, staining the snow covered with messy footprints.
Several students, both boys and girls, huddled stiffly in the stands at the baseball stadium.
Even though the baseball field was empty, it would be difficult to escape once discovered.
But precisely because this place was clearly visible, no one would deliberately look for the empty spectator seats, so several students hid here temporarily and avoided several searches by guide dogs.
One of the boys stared at the watch on his wrist with a slightly desperate expression.
Time goes too slowly.
Every minute and every second was extremely torturous, and there were still a full twenty minutes before the end of this physical education class.
Physical education classes are getting scarier and scarier, and the teachers are getting weirder and weirder.
He could no longer remember what his teacher looked like, but he still vaguely remembered that the teacher was not a cannibal.
At least it wouldn't be this giant lizard that had grown several times its size. It had grown much bigger due to being fed by the guide dog.
And this growing trend has not stopped.
The more the boy thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he could only stare at his watch to relieve his anxiety.
"Gu Dong, how long will it take for get out of class to end?" the girl next to him asked in a low voice.
Gu Dong was about to speak when the girl suddenly exclaimed:
"Oh my god! Where did the bugs come from?"
What's there to be afraid of?! And why are you making so much noise? Are you trying to attract the teacher?
Gu Dong raised his head impatiently, but the words of scolding were about to come out of his mouth but he couldn't say them.
Something black got into his eyes when he looked up and stuck tightly to his eyeballs.
"Gu, Gu Dong! Your eyes!"
The girl screamed in fear and stood there in a daze.
The round thing was staring at the boy's right eye, and the black wings behind it were still trembling slightly, as if it was sucking something.
But Gu Dong seemed to be possessed by a demon and showed no reaction at all.
The girl wanted to leave but didn't dare to. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Dong moved.
He blinked in pain, and then the girl saw his bare, black eye sockets.
But the eyeballs were eaten by that thing!
Gu Dong cried out, and his body rushed towards the audience seats uncontrollably. Then he hit his head on the guardrail and died.
The girl was so frightened that her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand when she was pulled by her companions.
When she came to her senses and was about to turn around and run away, her companion grabbed her neck tightly.
"you--"
The girl was stunned and wanted to call out but couldn't utter a word.
She could only watch the black, insect-like thing twisting in her companion's eye sockets.
Behind her companion, countless small insects with flapping wings were rushing towards her excitedly.
After the last few NPC students killed each other or committed suicide, their bodies were easily found by Mu Cheng through the prying eyes.
The giant lizard, whose size had grown to an unknown degree, followed behind it with heavy steps, throwing it into the air, tearing it apart, and then eating it in one bite as if it were swallowing small fish and shrimps.
After eating this horrible thing, it burped contentedly, and from its open mouth, its slender, forked yellow tongue rolled out a glowing fragment.
Mu Cheng reached out and took the fish-scale-textured love letter fragment, with a frown on his face showing some dissatisfaction.
Only after all 13 NPC students died did two love letter fragments randomly appear.
At this time, there were only ten players left in the entire huge campus, including him.
They still have two love letter fragments that have not been refreshed, and things are starting to get interesting.
An extremely excited and bloodthirsty smile appeared on Mu Cheng's face. As long as the mandatory task of the card field was not completed, the door number would be unable to refresh.
Without a house number, none of them can go back.
Love letter fragments will only drop randomly from the bodies of the dead, which means that all remaining players must participate in this death chase game that has just begun.
Mu Cheng looked at the message from the owner of the card room sliding rapidly in front of him and smiled disapprovingly.
A huge peeping eye was suspended on his left side, and the small eyes that flew out provided vision for other players at all times.
"How can I refresh the love letter fragments if the students don't die?" Mu Cheng's indifferent words were like the whispers of a devil. He stared straight ahead and smiled strangely:
"They'll definitely thank me for being the bad guy."
[Anonymous Player 931: Holy crap!!! His smile really gave me the creeps!!
Anonymous player 1122: Are you crazy? It was obviously him who wanted to do this, why drag others into it???
Anonymous Player 965: Is his ID card suit spades? Almost all the spades players I've met are crazy like this, so scary.
Anonymous player 800: Killing 13 NPC students at once wasn't the most amazing thing. The most amazing thing was that this move forced the remaining players to kill each other (bitter smile)
Anonymous player 830: Yeah, there were so many NPC students!! And honestly, they're all pretty dumb, with no resistance. Even the weakest player could catch one by chance, right? And if they did, that thing wouldn't eat the chosen one.
Anonymous player 932: Oh, I never thought there would be such a person in a level 4 poker field. He turned it into a level 5 poker field (thumbs up)
Anonymous player 742: Although this person's brain is a bit bad, have you ever considered that love letter fragments are difficult to drop? If they don't drop, people will still die. (At a loss.jpg)
Anonymous player 903: !!! I've been wanting to say this for a long time! The NPC student is going to die sooner or later, but if the love letter fragments don't drop in time, what will happen next? Will the players resort to shady tactics against each other? (Shivering.jpg)
Anonymous player 1308: Ah, after hearing what you said, I am also confused. Is what he did right or wrong? (crying and laughing)
Anonymous player 750: I think it is essentially correct. The rules of the game designed by the card field are to eliminate players, and he is just adding fuel to the fire.
Anonymous player 1432: ??? Am I out of touch or what? This guy clearly has issues, yet you think he's doing the right thing?
Anonymous player 1212: Yeah, the NPC students were originally just fodder for the players to get through gym class, but this guy killed them all, and you actually think he was right?
After reading the interactive area of the card room owner, Yitu couldn't help but frown.
He never expected that Mu Cheng would be so crazy and kill all the other NPC students at once.
But now the campus is full of prying eyes with wings flying around.
Those little things are not very lethal, but they are extremely fast. Once they get into the player's eyes, the player's body will be directly controlled by them.
If Yi Tu had not landed in the library lounge this time, those things would have rushed towards him at a rapid speed the moment they saw him.
The sound of raindrops hitting the window was so loud that when they touched any object other than the eyes, they instantly shattered and dissipated into the air.
Although the card room owners have different opinions, it is an indisputable fact that Mu Cheng's recommendation votes are increasing.
But the chase did not end there. Yitu waited in the lounge for a while, but didn't find anyone familiar and was about to leave.
At this moment, the game control panel information popped up in front of him.

When he saw the number of surviving players suddenly become 9, he was stunned.
Someone was caught by Mucheng.
Yitu quickly clicked on the player rankings, and the nine names were skipped from top to bottom. His heart sank slowly.
[Number of owners entering the viewing area: 2231 (number continues to rise)]
Total number of recommended votes cast: 1290

(Rankings are refreshed every two hours, players please pay attention to ranking changes!)
The person caught by Mu Cheng was Victor Han.
Dead players will be directly erased from the ranking list by the system, but Yitu didn't expect that he would die so soon.
Less than five minutes had passed and Mu Cheng's hunting was still going on, but his location had already been spotted by those eyes.
Just as Yi Tu was about to leave the lounge, the door was opened from the outside.
A tall and straight figure walked in, and the man's heavy gaze fell on Yitu.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, and you found me waiting here."
---
Ji Han closed the game panel in front of him, and his pale and bloodless face looked particularly ugly.
Victor Han is dead. She doesn’t know how that person died, but it is definitely not as simple as being targeted by an eye.
Although those extremely fast little creatures have the ability to control people, their bodies are very fragile. As long as they are killed before entering the eyes, nothing will happen.
The only headache is that these things will constantly expose her location.
Ji Han didn't dare to stay in the dormitory any longer, but he also didn't dare to go to the library in front of the dormitory.
Because Shi Ling was in the library, she and that person knew where each other was going when they separated.
After the two people reached a cooperative symbiotic relationship, their common interests required them to trust each other completely.
Now Ji Han depends on Yi Tu's survival to live, and she cannot risk being seen and lead Mu Cheng over.
She bit her bloodless lips and prepared to walk in the opposite direction.
Who knew that before she even reached the door of the dormitory building, countless little eyes were already rushing towards her.
Ji Han's face changed and he covered his eyes with his hands without thinking. After a slight stinging sensation, his eyes disappeared in place.
But when she opened her eyes again, she saw Mu Cheng standing in front of the dormitory building, looking at her.
The man smiled faintly at her, and raised the jackal scepter in his hand slightly.
Just when Ji Han thought he was going to die, Mu Cheng suddenly changed the direction of the scepter's attack.
She was stunned for a moment and looked to the left.
Sure enough, on the road from the dormitory to the library, I saw the figures of two other players.
Wang Xiaolei who got separated from Qu Bai, and Xi Tao who looked panicked.
Xitao's heart was beating very violently. She resisted the urge to run away. The man standing not far away and the huge lizard behind him made her very scared.
She could only force herself to calm down and trust Mu Cheng that he would not hurt her.
There was no need for him to hurt herself at all. She and Mu Cheng were companions. She even followed the man's instructions and led Wang Xiaolei here.
And now, Wang Xiaolei's body has been controlled by the prying eye, and he is walking towards Mu Cheng in a daze.
The Prying Eye not only controls NPCs, but also has irresistible control over players.
Although its effect in controlling players is far lower than its control over NPCs, lasting only about three to five seconds, this is enough time for Mu Cheng to project the extremely sharp jackal scepter.
Xitao remembered that the wolf head of this scepter had eyes that could petrify players or NPCs, but at this moment the wolf head's eyes were dull, clearly having been used.
The person who was fixed by the Jackal Scepter was probably Han Wei, who had died not long ago.
Wang Xiaolei walked forward in a daze, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his right eye. He covered his eyes abruptly and regained consciousness.
But it was too late. The moment he raised his head, the jackal's staff stabbed towards him at an impossible speed to dodge.
Wang Xiaolei's breath was caught.
"Zizhen!"
Qu Bai, who had just come over, saw this scene before he even had time to get there, and his face changed instantly.
Just as the scepter was about to pierce Wang Xiaolei into the ground, a tall figure jumped out from the flower bed next to the library.
At the critical moment, Yitu suddenly threw Wang Xiaolei to the ground, and the jackal's staff, which had already been soaked with blood, just brushed past Yitu's back and nailed it heavily to the ground.
There was a long cut on Yitu's back, but he didn't feel anything.
Until he was pulled up by Jiang Hanyu, the man's hand slightly lifted his red and white mottled school uniform.
The pale and slender waist was exposed, and a bloody cut ran from the top to the side of the waist, almost deep enough to expose the bone.
But the wound in his abdomen healed.
Jiang Hanyu frowned, his face expressionless.
Yitu hesitated for a moment, but still gently pushed the man's hand away.
He pulled Wang Xiaolei up and found that Wang Xiaolei's face was covered in blood.
His right eye socket was empty, his eyeball had been eaten by that thing.
"My eyes, are my eyes gone?" Wang Xiaolei's voice trembled.
"It's just temporary." Yitu patted his shoulder.
Mu Cheng, who was standing not far away, laughed and said sarcastically:
"I'm so touched! It turns out there's true friendship and love in the card room!"
"Are you satisfied with me being the bad guy?"
He raised his hand slightly, signaling the monitor lizard behind him that it was time to hunt.
These people are so bold that they actually dare to appear in front of him. After killing them all together, the love letter fragments will all fall off, right?
As Mu Cheng was thinking this, the giant lizard's hoarse voice rang out:
"Good boy, you did a great job, but your time is up."
Mu Cheng was stunned, and the giant lizard behind him disappeared instantly.
But when it appeared again, it stopped beside Qu Bai.
Qu Bai stopped walking towards his boyfriend instantly, with anxious worry and fear on his face.
But he could only stop suddenly, and the monitor lizard's urging voice was in his ears:
"Good boy, you know the rules of the game, right?"
Qu Bai looked at her boyfriend's stunned face and the backs of those people who decisively chose to leave.
"It's my turn." Qu Bai smiled and then opened the interactive area for card room owners.
Yi Tu and the other two entered the nearest library. This time, the guide dog was Qu Bai. With Wang Xiaolei around, Qu Bai would not be able to chase them.
Especially since Yitu had just rescued Wang Xiaolei.
"It's Xi Tao."
The three of them walked towards the lounge, and Wang Xiaolei suddenly looked up and spoke.
"What?" Yitu looked at him.
Wang Xiaolei said with absolute certainty, "It was Xitao who led me to Mucheng. If she hadn't called me, I would never have turned back."
This gave those eyes an opportunity to penetrate into his right eye before he could react.
Originally, he and Qu Bai agreed that every time the guide dog's driver change time passed, they would wait for each other in the teaching building.
But not long ago, Wang Xiaolei, who was wandering in the teaching building, did not wait for Qu Bai to come looking for him.
Instead, he had to change his position because of the approach of several NPC students.
Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard Xitao's cry for help.
For some unknown reason, Xitao was hanging outside the guardrail, holding onto the edge of the wall with both hands, teetering and about to fall.
Wang Xiaolei quickly went over and pulled the person up through a guardrail.
After Xitao came up, she kept crying because of excessive fear and insisted on following Wang Xiaolei.
Wang Xiaolei had no choice but to ask her what had happened before. The two of them were just company and it gave them courage.
So he took Xitao to the library, which was the second place he and Qu Bai had agreed upon.
Qu Bai told him that if there was any danger near the teaching building, then he should go to the library closest to the building, where he would be waiting for Wang Xiaolei.
But what Wang Xiaolei never expected was that although he had chosen the right route, he ran into Mu Cheng on the way without knowing it.
Instead, it was Xi Tao who was following behind him who noticed this.
Xi Tao stared at the many eyes hanging in the air with horror on her face and turned her head stiffly.
Mu Cheng was standing not far behind her. She smiled at him and gestured to Wang Xiaolei in front of her.
Xi Tao immediately understood what he meant. Mu Cheng wanted to kill Wang Xiaolei in order to reduce the number of recommendation votes for those two people.
Wang Xiaolei and Qu Bai are spouses. Once Wang Xiaolei dies, Qu Bai will have an extra card on his body and become the first target of attack by NPC ghosts.
And most importantly, they are still short of two pieces of love letter for their mandatory mission.
Some player had to die first, and she didn't want to be one of them.
Xitao bit her lip and softly called Wang Xiaolei's name.
The moment Wang Xiaolei turned his head, he was caught by a prying eye.
"I clearly saved her, but she repaid me with evil!" Wang Xiaolei was so angry that he almost died, and said with gritted teeth.
"Xitao...why is it hanging outside the guardrail?" Yitu was puzzled.
"I don't know either. If I knew, I wouldn't have saved her!" Wang Xiaolei was extremely depressed. "Some god must have seen her true face and punished her on purpose!"
At this time, the man standing next to Yitu laughed.
Yi Tu looked over subconsciously and saw that Jiang Hanyu's thin lips, which had been tightly pursed, were slightly raised.
"Unfortunately, I became a god."
Wang Xiaolei was shocked: "!! Why don't you just kill her? She's such a disaster!"
Yitu's curiosity was piqued. "You...what did she do to you?"
"She tried to use the skill card to control me." Jiang Hanyu's eyes flashed coldly, "She was annoying and noisy, so I moved her away."
Originally, he didn't care about such a little thing. After all, Xitao's little tricks were really ridiculous.
Jiang Hanyu didn't even have the desire to attack her. It was a simple matter to kill someone who only depended on others.
But he didn't want to let Xitao go easily, so he passed the person outside the guardrail. If no one rescued him, he would be exhausted and fall down.
The man explained, but his brown eyes did not move away from Yitu.
"I'm done, now it's time to talk about yours."
"What?" Yitu was stunned.
Then she instantly realized what the man meant.
He saw his healed wounds.
--
Qu Bai knew that Wang Xiaolei, Shi Ling and the others were in the library. While he felt relieved, he was also enjoying the fun of the chase.
Only after serving as a guide dog himself could he understand Mu Cheng's previous crazy behavior.
Even though he was chained by a giant lizard, so what?
After being enhanced by the card game, his hearing and vision became more acute than those of ordinary people.
Qu Bai used the teleportation ability of the Key of Space to achieve a terrifying speed of movement.
He chased Mu Cheng for a while, almost catching up with him step by step, and only then did Mu Cheng discover the connection between him and the door.
After using the Jackal Scepter and the Prying Eye once, Qu Bai was briefly petrified, and the giant lizard was controlled by the eyes and unable to move.
Mu Cheng managed to escape, and Qu Bai didn't plan to chase him anymore.
It is definitely unrealistic to want to kill Mu Cheng in just a few minutes. You must know that both he and Mu Cheng are above level seven, and Mu Cheng is an official member of the top 100 team.
He had never used his life-saving props, and the only two props he had were troublesome enough.
It would be meaningless to waste time with such people.
Qu Bai thought of Wang Xiaolei's missing right eye and changed his target.
Xi Tao hid and came to the vicinity of the experimental building, which was far away from the library and teaching building.
She thought anxiously that Qu Bai should go after Mu Cheng, after all, it was Mu Cheng who wanted to kill Wang Xiaolei.
But she also had a hand in this, and there was no guarantee that Qu Bai would change his target.
Now she only hoped that Qu Bai would find out later that it was she who caused Wang Xiaolei to be caught in the prying eye.
After reading the messages in the interactive area, Xitao closed the control panel with an expressionless face.
Qu Bai finally found out. The only thing she hated now was that useless Mu Cheng couldn't even kill Wang Xiaolei.
It’s just a little bit off!
At this moment, a voice with a cold smile sounded behind her.
"I found you."
Xi Tao's whole body stiffened.
