Chapter 37
Xitao walked gently to a distance of about one meter from the man and stopped.
She looked at the man's sleeping face, which was completely different from the indifference during the day, gentle and quiet.
Who would have thought that just outside this quiet library, there were students crying and screaming in fear, the roars of wild beasts and the crunching sounds of flesh being gnawed.
But the man was sleeping comfortably and completely defenseless in this remote corner.
Xitao hesitated for a moment. Is this person really a high-level player? Why is his vigilance so low?
She was almost there, but the man still didn't react, as if he was sleeping soundly.
This made Xitao feel a little helpless, so she could only bite the bullet and go forward to give it a try.
"You, You Yi?"
The girl's voice was clean and soft, like a kitten calling.
The man did not wake up, but his long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Xi Tao raised her voice a little, "You Yi, why did you fall asleep here?"
She was just about to step forward and pat the man's broad shoulders, but before she could get close, she saw that man frowning.
Jiang Hanyu slowly opened his eyes. His brown pupils looked dark in the dimly lit room, and his emotions were so deep that it was impossible to tell.
When his eyes fell on the fair and well-behaved girl in front of him, Xitao couldn't help but tremble.
Although she knew the man didn't actually do anything, the overwhelming sense of oppression made it difficult for her to breathe.
Xi Tao's hands behind her back slowly began to sweat. It was not only the nervousness that was affecting her, but also the fear of facing an unknown strong man that was shaking her will.
She clenched the identity card in her hand, and the second-level apostle card appeared before her eyes - a vassal of the strong.
She had only used this card once on Mu Cheng. Even someone as suspicious as Mu Cheng would relax his vigilance under the effect of the card.
This is also due to the fact that Xitao looks like a weak girl. The more arrogant a person is, the better the effect of the cards he uses will be.
Xi Tao didn't understand the man's character and felt a little nervous.
But when she thought about how this person had almost no guard, her tension eased a lot.
The less vigilant a person is, the better the effect of this card will be.
Thinking of this, Xi Tao bit her lip and spoke carefully:
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb your rest, but I just ran into Victor Han outside. He was chosen by that thing and wanted to hunt me down!”
"I ran to the lounge in a hurry... Can I stay here for a while?"
Xi Tao spoke these words quickly and hurriedly, with a look of fear and terror on her face, as if she had really been chased here by Han Wei and was in a hurry to explain.
The skill card in front of her was already glowing slightly in the air and was being used. It would take three to five seconds to use it successfully.
Jiang Hanyu didn't say anything, but just stared at Xitao quietly with a serious look.
Xitao's heart was beating wildly. For the first time, she felt that the use time of this card was a little too long.
The man's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her layers of disguise and directly read her true heart. The embarrassing feeling of being exposed made her suffer.
But even so, the release state of the skill card has not been interrupted, and the seconds are counting down.
Xi Tao could only suppress the discomfort in her heart and look at the man.
[Apostle Card is being released, status cannot be canceled, countdown five, four, three, two——]
[The release of the second-level apostle card failed! Please choose a qualified target to release! ]
When a red warning popped up in front of her unexpectedly, a hint of surprise flashed in Xitao's eyes.
How could this happen?! This is impossible. It can't possibly not meet the requirements for using the Apostle Card!
This guy is already strong enough to slaughter NPCs, how is it possible that his level is not yet level seven?
"you--"
Xi Tao was about to say something when suddenly a black blade-like object shot towards her face.
Xi Tao had no time to dodge and could only turn his head away, his body falling backwards uncontrollably.
The red hole had already opened its huge mouth behind her and swallowed her in an instant.
In just a few seconds, the man was the only one left in the silent classroom.
Jiang Hanyu stood up slowly, his tall and elegant figure like a leisurely and contented young man in the early morning.
Only a few pitch-black feathers remained where Xitao had been. After a moment's pause, they disappeared without a trace.
"Cats and dogs, they dare to set their sights on me."
The man was talking to himself, but his lonely tone was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and depression.
There was no one else in the quiet room to respond. He looked out the window and saw the endless snow still falling.
On the black snow, there were so many red bloodstains that even the heavy snow couldn't cover them.
The man stood there, without a trace of emotion on his face, as if he was not a part of this massacre game at all, but just an indifferent bystander.
Very boring.
A trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Hanyu's eyes. He looked down at the table where he had just slept and didn't feel like sleeping anymore.
He exchanged cold glances with King David, who was sitting on the throne, and both saw annoyance in each other's eyes.
The game control panel in front of him was completely clean without a single unnecessary message.
The intercom was not broken, and Yi Tu's name was still written on the spouse column, but he was standing here alone, as if he had been abandoned.
How could such a weak and injured person survive until now?
The next moment, Jiang Hanyu pushed open the door of the lounge.
---
In fact, Yitu didn't expect that he would be so unlucky.
The guide dogs selected by the monitor lizard have changed three or four times. However, whether it is a coincidence or an accident, the students selected every time are around Yi Tu.
This made Yitu wonder if there was something wrong with his premonition.
The wound had already split open during the escape, and the red blood seeped through the gauze, staining the white school uniform red.
Yitu had to find a secluded corner to stop. Because of the pain, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
This kind of battle royale game is really torturous.
Yitu sat in the corridor of the laboratory building and began to consider the possibility of not changing places.
Who knows if the next guide dog chosen will be one from the area around him.
But there is only one benefit to this.
That is, if Yitu is chosen as a guide dog, it will be very easy to find the location of the NPC students.
He remembered clearly the directions in which the NPC students he met along the way left, just in case he was chosen as a guide dog.
While Yitu was thinking, he pressed his hands tightly on the bleeding wound.
It’s better to stop for a while, he really can’t walk anymore.
However, his luck was really not good. He would meet people no matter whether he was moving or not.
He had not been resting in the corridor for two minutes when he heard light footsteps approaching.
Even though he tried to move quietly, some noises could still be heard in the quiet corridor.
Yitu stood up immediately without thinking. He didn't know whether the person coming was a guide dog or a student. If it was a former psychiatrist, then it would be over.
He went downstairs very quickly, but the person behind him still saw him.
"Shi Ling?" A cold female voice sounded behind him.
Yi Tu subconsciously turned around and saw that the person who came had simple short hair and it was the squad leader Ji Han.
"Don't look at me, I'm not a guide dog."
Ji Han noticed his gaze on her legs and began to explain.
Yitu retracted his gaze and said, "Do you know who was chosen this time?"
Ji Han shook his head. "It should be an NPC. If it was a player, the noise wouldn't be so small."
Yi Tu naturally knew this. There was nothing for the two of them to reminisce about, not to mention that the place and time were not right.
He was just about to say goodbye to Ji Han, but Ji Han was looking at his bleeding abdomen, wondering what he was looking at.
Yi Tu's vigilance was instantly raised. He was injured now. Even if Ji Han was not strong, he might not be able to defeat him.
What's more, Ji Han must have a skill card on her. If she wants to do something to herself, it would be extremely easy.
Just when Yi Tu was tensing up, Ji Han hesitated and said:
"Shi Ling, you are the spouse assigned to You Yi by the system, right?"
Yitu didn't expect her to ask this question and was stunned.
"Why are you asking that?"
Ji Han smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."
"Your wound is so severe that it's obviously difficult for you to move, but You Yi is not by your side."
"The rules of the game mean we can't stay together." Yitu frowned, not understanding what she meant.
"Having said that, you two have never been selected, and he has never cared about your safety, right?" Ji Han said.
Yitu looked at her with eyes as calm as water, without any emotion aroused at all.
"Ji Han, I can survive even without him."
"I don't know what you mean by this, but I think a relationship between spouses is one of equal strength, not one where one partner can only cling to the other's weakness to survive."
"He's not coming because I don't need him to come, you understand?"
After hearing this, Ji Han was obviously stunned.
Yitu asked her, "Do you have anything else to do? That thing will be replaced soon."
Ji Han immediately came to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision.
"Shi Ling, I want to ask you for a favor. As a thank you, I will heal your wound. How about that?"
Yitu's heart moved, "What's the matter?"
"Live with me."
Jiang Hanyu stood alone on the rooftop, his tall figure looking a bit cold and lonely.
Standing here, he could almost have a panoramic view of the entire campus. Every now and then, one or two panicked students would run downstairs, or players would notice him but not dare to approach him.
But he didn't find the person he was looking for.
Yitu had an abdominal injury. More than half an hour had passed and he must have been unable to run anymore, so he hid somewhere to rest.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hanyu planned to look for it in the corridor of the teaching building.
He jumped off the rooftop, but caught a glimpse of two figures standing under the flower bed in mid-air.
The man's figure changed direction in the air, and his huge wings were deliberately hidden by the owner, so that when he appeared in front of the two people, they were all startled.
“What the hell!” Wang Xiaolei jumped up suddenly. “What the hell!”
Jiang Hanyu glanced at him coldly, with a look of impatience on his face.
Wang Xiaolei quickly shut his mouth and shrank behind Qu Bai without saying anything.
Qu Bai was also a little confused. He didn't know where this person came from. Just as he was about to ask, the man took the lead.
"Have you seen Shi Ling?"
Qu Bai was stunned. "Shi Ling? You two aren't together?"
Jiang Hanyu felt that he was just talking nonsense. If they were together, what else would he ask?
Wang Xiaolei, who was standing by, noticed something and muttered quietly:
"You haven't looked for him since the four of us separated, have you?"
Jiang Hanyu frowned, but did not deny it.
Wang Xiaolei didn't expect that he would reveal the secret in one sentence. His eyes widened instantly:
"Fuck! Are you still human? You don't even care about your own wife?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was frightened into silence by the man's extremely cold gaze.
"He has hands and feet, he can't die."
Jiang Hanyu's expression was indifferent, and his handsome face seemed even more heartless and ungrateful.
He and Yi Tu were not a couple at all, not to mention that the other person didn't need him at all.
He felt a little depressed when he thought of his clean game panel with no information.
The spouse assigned to me by the system is actually too sensible.
But he has never known what propriety is.
At this time, Wang Xiaolei quietly opened the interactive area of the card room owner, and messages passed by his eyes one by one.
Anonymous player 630: !!! Dude, wake up! Stop talking about having hands and feet! Your wife is already living with someone else!
Anonymous player 511: Hahahahaha I'm dying of laughter. Are you sure this isn't just something he said in anger because his wife dumped him?!
Anonymous player 942: Although, it's so funny hahahahaha
Anonymous player 497: It's a pretty cruel statement, but why do I find it so funny? Even if you have hands and feet, it won't work. You'll just run off with someone else. (doghead.jpg)
Anonymous player 687: I am laughing like crazy, this couple! High EQ: evenly matched, low EQ: each playing their own game, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Anonymous player 638: Baoer, although you are very handsome and what you said is very cold, but! Mommy still feels sorry for you hahahahahaha
Anonymous player 970: This straight man is always stubborn. Now he can’t find his wife (spreading his hands)
"Five minutes are almost up, the guide dog needs a replacement."
Qu Bai glanced at his watch. It seemed like only forty minutes had passed in this game, but every minute and every second was extremely torturous.
Wang Xiaolei turned off the interactive area in front of her and obediently went into the teaching building with her boyfriend.
In order for Qu Bai's key to achieve the ability to travel through time and space, it must rely on the door as a medium.
After the two disappeared, Jiang Hanyu thought for a moment and walked towards the experimental building at the rear.
--
Ji Han walked alone on the empty road, his rubber shoes making no squeaking sound as he stepped on the black snow.
Her face was pale enough, and she pressed her hands tightly against her bleeding abdomen as she walked towards the dormitory building without slowing down.
She didn't know whether her choice to coexist with Shi Ling was right or wrong.
Originally, Shi Ling was not among Ji Han's choices, and there was only one reason for this, that is, Shi Ling was injured.
But now that she thought about it carefully, Shi Ling became the most suitable one.
Her second-level apostle card - Symbiosis on the Other Side. Once a connection is successfully established with the symbiotic person, the card holder will transfer all damage to the symbiotic person.
And the symbiote will receive a layer of passive protection. During the time when the passive protection is triggered, the cardholder will bear all the damage suffered by the symbiote until the cardholder dies.
Most of the props and skill cards in the game are intended to protect their holders first, but the card Ji Han got is not one of them.
The essence of the other-side symbiosis is to sacrifice the license holder in order to keep the symbiont alive as much as possible.
As long as the symbiote can leave the card field alive, the holder will be resurrected immediately, realizing true symbiosis on the other side.
In a sense, this card has the same effect as the symbiosis between spouses.
If one party leaves alive, the other party will be resurrected.
But whether it is the former or the latter, the risks involved are huge.
Every time Ji Han uses the other side symbiosis, he will die and be resurrected again.
You know, being forced to face death is an extremely terrifying thing, and what Ji Han has to do is to bravely embrace death.
Her choice cannot be wrong. Once she makes a wrong choice, there will be no second chance.
This card requires the player to mortgage his entire life, and she has already mortgaged it four times and is still alive and well.
But this time, she took the greatest risk and gave her life to a newcomer.
Shi Ling did not hide this fact. In fact, his sincerity made Ji Han feel a bit innocent and beautiful.
Her intuition told her that this person would leave the card room alive.
Even if he can't, his spouse certainly can.
As long as Shi Ling survived, she would definitely survive, regardless of whether the former was resurrected or not.
Although the relationship is deferred, the symbiosis of the other side of the Apostle card is still valid.
This is also the reason why Ji Han asked about Shi Ling's relationship with his spouse at the beginning.
She must be fully prepared before she dares to mortgage her entire family's lives.
Even if Shi Ling was not the original choice, in this situation, she might die before meeting anyone else.
Victor Han’s pursuit gave her great fear.
Ji Han entered the dormitory building smoothly. Since the symbiosis on the other side of the Apostle Card has taken effect, her death is only a matter of time.
It could be tomorrow, or it could be the next moment.
Every time he died, Ji Han had the illusion that he would never come back.
She really hoped that she would never come back, but her instinct for survival made her choose the right person every time.
No player will refuse her request, because her existence is a damage transfer card.
After her death, she will no longer occupy a position in the player rankings, but after her resurrection, she will enjoy an additional 40% of the total points of the symbionts.
Now, she just wants to find a quiet place to die.
The wound that Shi Ling transferred was very painful, but she was already used to it.
Ji Han wanted to go back to her dormitory, but as soon as she stepped onto the corridor on the fourth floor, she froze there.
Ten meters away, a black and brown monitor lizard was lying on a female student, eating with relish.
He sensed the movement and turned his flat head. Ji Han saw its bloody mouth.
How come you are here!
The blood in Ji Han's body was flowing backwards. Even though she knew she was going to die, she still felt the fear of her heart stopping at the moment of death.
She just reacted and wanted to run away, but the giant lizard in front of her was suddenly teleported away.
The time has come and a new guide dog has appeared.
Ji Han was extremely grateful that she didn't have to die so cruelly, but when she glanced downstairs, she was completely shocked.
The giant lizard that was in front of her a moment ago now appeared not far from the theater entrance.
Next to it stood a tall man, who raised his chin slightly, revealing the cyan letters tattooed on it.
The new guide dog is Mucheng!
Ji Han was just about to take a closer look, but Mu Cheng turned his head slightly and looked in her direction.
Her heart trembled slightly and she quickly hid behind a pillar.
Mu Cheng was seen standing quietly in place, gently throwing the card into the air with his right hand. The moment the card fell, it turned into a huge black eye in the air.
This black eye is as big as a basketball, and a pair of reverse wings grow on each side.
And the moment his eyes opened, countless floating balls with wings scattered in all directions.
One of them flew straight towards Ji Han's door.
