Chapter 45 You're flirting with girls and don't care about your brothers' lives, huh?
Just then, a person wearing a murderer's mask and a prison uniform suddenly emerged silently from the darkness.
A faint voice drifted out from under the mask, giving off a feeling of someone going crazy at work.
"Four of you, right?"
Si Yue and Xie Lin, who hadn't noticed the sudden appearance of another person, were startled.
As for why He Jinzhao and Song Shiyi didn't react, it's because they had already been frightened once before.
Who told them that you need at least four people to start a game?
Holy crap!
"I...go!"
Xie Lin's tone suddenly turned sharply downwards, abruptly changing direction.
He calmed his rapidly beating heart and couldn't resist a sarcastic remark: "Weren't you fearless? Shouting so loudly, you're scared of just one staff member. Don't cry when you go in."
Si Yue had just recovered when she heard this, so she rolled up her sleeves, put her hands on her hips, and her energy surged again.
She chuckled, a hint of disdain in the curve of her lips: "You're no better than me, and you still have the nerve to talk back to me."
"...I was scared by you. Don't you know that scaring someone can kill them?"
"If you're scared, so be it. To be honest, I won't laugh at you. Just go in and follow me. I'll protect you, okay?"
"...Shut up."
Xie Lin's temple twitched; he realized that Si Yue was his nemesis.
He Jinzhao and Song Shiyi exchanged a glance, then sighed and rubbed their foreheads in exasperation.
These two always seem to argue whenever they're together; they really can't seem to put anyone at ease.
Seeing that the two were about to continue attacking, Song Shiyi stepped forward and covered Si Yue's mouth, while He Jinzhao, in perfect unison, sealed Xie Lin away.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"
Ignoring the protests, he smiled slightly and said, "The four of you are in trouble."
The staff member watched a stand-up comedy show and seemed to feel a little better. He nodded and his voice became much lighter.
"Come in with me."
The four of them followed behind him, and the atmosphere became unusually quiet.
Si Yue looked left and right, her face full of anticipation.
Xie Lin had lost interest; he lowered his eyes, looking somewhat listless.
He Jinzhao's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly.
It shouldn't be completely black, right?
Song Shiyi was like a curious child, her eyes full of wonder.
"What themes would you like to play? We have ghost marriages, hospitals, school campuses, and a chase-and-combat theme with a slaughterhouse. There are a few other themes as well, but these are the ones we like the most."
"Ghost marriage is out of the question; I'm not good at Chinese horror."
Xie Lin nodded firmly, finding it rare for him to stand on the same side as Si Yue.
"Chasing is also not advisable, as it can easily lead to injury."
The group hesitated between the campus and the hospital before finally making a decision.
"We're on campus!"
They were all college students, which fit the theme perfectly.
"Okay, let me first explain the precautions to everyone."
The four listened intently, their expressions focused and serious.
"If everyone is ready and has received their ID tags, we can put on our blindfolds and begin."
These words immediately created a sense of tension and excitement.
They all nodded and hung their ID tags around their necks.
Song Shiyi glanced at the names of the group; hers was Xiaoxue.
Si Yue is Xiao Ying.
Xie Lin is Xiao Ming.
He Jinzhao is Xiaolin.
The group took their positions, put their hands on each other's shoulders, wore blindfolds, and stepped into the dark room one by one.
"Everyone can take off their blindfolds when they hear the sound."
The entrance door closed, and the group remained in the same position as when they entered, waiting for the activity to begin. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and the cold air seeped into them.
Xie Lin got goosebumps all over his body. He swallowed hard. Not to mention that he was the first one there. He didn't know what was in front of him. The fear of the unknown made his whole body tense.
Just then, a piercing school bell suddenly rang out over the loudspeaker, startling all four of them.
This means you can take off your blindfold now.
But Xie Lin didn't really want to.
He Jinzhao was the first to remove the blindfold, and the moment he opened his eyes, it was as if he hadn't opened them at all.
"Wow! It's so dark!"
Si Yue held Song Shiyi tightly in her arms, protecting her with an air of absolute vigilance, as if afraid that someone might suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Song Shiyi also started to feel scared. She clung tightly to Si Yue, her vision completely dark, unable to see anything.
Xie Lin took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and abruptly removed the blindfold, opening his eyes.
But clearly he wasn't mentally prepared enough.
In the next instant, a man in a security guard uniform suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a flashlight to his chin and shining it upwards, illuminating his entire face.
A strange smile played on his lips as he stared at the group of people before him without saying a word.
Xie Lin was hit directly in the face, and he felt his heart skip a beat.
He stared at the person in front of him expressionlessly, looking very calm, but he had actually been gone for a while.
The three people behind him were startled.
He Jinzhao immediately looked for Song Shiyi's location. He took a step back and stood beside her, whispering in her ear with concern, "Are you alright?"
Song Shiyi shook her head; she felt that Xie Lin must be in trouble.
Seeing that Xie Lin had no reaction at all, Si Yue couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.
"Wow, you're quite something, not even flinching. You're a true tank."
Xie Lin forced a smile, but couldn't utter a word.
Si Yue patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Since you're so awesome, you can lead the charge from now on."
Xie Lin: "..."
...You might as well let me die.
He moved his lips as if to say something, but the security guard in front of him moved first.
He immediately activated his protective mode, took a large step back, and looked on alertly.
In this way, Si Yue successfully became the leader.
"?"
The security guard glanced at them indifferently, his voice hoarse.
"You guys, the bell rang for class, why aren't you in the classroom yet?"
"Being late will be punished."
After saying that, he suddenly grinned and laughed, which seemed even more eerie in the quiet and gloomy environment.
Then, holding a flashlight, he slowly moved away and disappeared from their sight.
"...This guy's acting is really amazing."
Si Yue rubbed her arms, and she really felt a bit immersed in the role.
"Does this mean we have to go to the classroom for class?"
He Jinzhao nodded. "It should be, but where is the classroom?"
Song Shiyi tugged at his sleeve and pointed to a dimly lit area not far ahead.
"Let's go take a look."
He took Song Shiyi's hand, and the warmth of his hand traveled through his palm to Song Shiyi's heart, which seemed to lessen her fear.
She looked at the figure in front of her and gently raised the corners of her lips.
Si Yue is quite bold. Although she was a little scared, she didn't stop walking.
Xie Lin paused for a moment, then followed closely behind her.
Only he knew the fear and trepidation he experienced along the way.
The group walked into the classroom. The door was open, and the classroom was empty, but the sound of students reading aloud could be heard.
Si Yue went in first. Looking at the names on the table, she said to the others, "There are names on every table. I guess this means we should sit down according to our respective roles?"
Song Shiyi let go of her hand and walked towards her.
He Jinzhao looked down at his hands, raised his eyebrows in a good mood, and then looked at the back of the person in front of him.
Xie Lin noticed this scene and his lips twitched.
You're flirting with girls without caring about your brothers' well-being, huh?
