“Props can have all sorts of functions, how can you be sure they’re mine? Maybe someone’s framed me,” Ding Zhao shouted, his face flushed.
The girl with twin ponytails was displeased and pointed at him, saying, "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense! Who's framing you? Everyone saw it, what do you have to deny?"
Because the vengeful spirit was held back, the group was no longer in a hurry and each of them had time to argue.
Just then, Tong Xiaolu slowly opened her eyes. Her face was pale, and she coughed a few times, her voice barely audible.
Xu Qing's expression instantly turned tense. He quickly leaned down and asked with concern, "How are you, Xiao Lu? Do you need any other medication?"
"Little Deer is awake?" Luo Bin was overjoyed and quickly went over to her.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin and Cui Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Xiaolu slowly shook her head: "The medicine is working; I just need to rest for half an hour." She had more important things to take care of now...
Suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply, and a cold light fell on Ding Zhao like frost.
Ding Zhao felt the cold gaze and his heart sank. Looking at the unfriendly expressions of Cui Mingyang and the others, his legs went weak.
Xiao Jin didn't say a word, after all, the matter was already quite obvious.
Lightning crackled and danced at the tip of her blade. Before anyone could react, Xiao Jin suddenly swung her hand.
A thick bolt of lightning tore through the air with a deafening roar, striking Ding Zhao's already weakened protective shield.
The protective shield shattered instantly under the onslaught of lightning, turning into countless points of light that dissipated into the air.
"Wait!" Li Qi was shocked to see this and hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late.
With a heart-wrenching scream, Ding Zhao's body trembled violently, and his thigh was completely severed at the groin, with blood gushing out like a fountain, instantly staining the surrounding ground red.
The stench of blood quickly filled the air, and the stark white bones at the broken ends were immediately visible.
The girl with twin ponytails and Chen Mingchuan felt a surge of nausea in her chest, and it took them a while to suppress it.
They looked at Xiao Jin in horror.
Amazing! She actually managed to break through Ding Zhao's protective shield! And that knife in her hand, it's definitely a gold-tier weapon, and it's been enhanced quite a few times.
At the same time, everyone had the same thought: Who is this person? Is he a top player on the power ranking?
It's understandable that they think that way, since the name 'Shadow' is obviously a code name. Aside from the players on the list, very few people probably hide their real names!
Over here, Ding Zhao opened his mouth wide in pain, and after screaming, he could only let out extremely weak groans.
His eyes bulged out, his face was filled with terror and despair, and he was also secretly regretting it in his heart.
Why...why did he attack Tong Xiaolu?
Since he already knew these people were not to be trifled with, why didn't he pick on the easier target?
Thinking of this, Ding Zhao's face showed a moment of confusion. Yes, his original intention was to see that Tong Xiaolu was just a little girl, and he had taken out the purple prop. There was no reason why he couldn't kill her.
When the person dies at the hands of a vengeful ghost, there will be no way to verify the truth. Even if Xiao Jin and the others suspect him, they probably won't seek revenge for a player who has already died.
Isn't this the softest persimmon ever?
But he didn't expect the girl to be so vigilant and quick to react; in the end, he only managed to cut off one of her legs.
After that, the vengeful ghost was indeed entangled with it, and he was about to die...
Seeing the little girl's eyes, Xiao Jin sheathed his long sword and stepped back, while Tong Xiaolu helped Xu Qing to his feet.
She then walked up to Ding Zhao, and as she raised her hand, the chains in her palm began to dance in mid-air.
This time, Li Qi did not stop him. Firstly, there was no need to, and secondly, from the very beginning, Xiao Jin had been holding a long sword and keeping a close eye on him.
They seemed quite displeased with his earlier attempt to stop them.
However, Li Qi didn't dare to utter a sound and kept avoiding Xiao Jin's gaze.
Surprisingly, Tong Xiaolu did not deliver the final blow to the dying Ding Zhao.
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not believe that she would soften her heart.
Sure enough, the next second Tong Xiaolu looked at the other side of the corridor and said quietly, "That leg should be finished eating by now..."
——
Back inside, since the NPC hadn't gone out, we missed a big show.
Ignoring the piercing screams outside, Xiao Jin and the others sat around the sofa and began to select people to keep watch.
Xiao Jin: "Xiao Lu is injured, so we won't count her today. The remaining people are: first, Cui Mingyang from Class 1, followed by Luo Bin, me, and Xu Qing."
No one objected, since Xiao Jin had already taken on the most dangerous early morning shift.
Luo Bin stretched and said, "Hey! Let me experience what it's like to sleep in a movie."
Then everyone went to rest.
I had a good night's sleep.
Last night, there was good news and strange news.
The good news is that nothing happened, as if all the strangeness and mystery were kept outside the door, but the bad news is...
Yesterday's events terrified the three NPCs, and none of them slept a wink all night until dawn when they finally succumbed to sleep.
During this time, Xiaoyu and Xiaomei kept thinking about what had happened in the corridor. Even though they didn't go out, they had heard all those incredibly shrill screams.
However, considering that Tong Xiaolu was still a child, the two were too embarrassed to disturb her, so they wrapped themselves in blankets and shivered in bed.
The NPC's restless and sleepless movements still affected Tong Xiaolu, who woke up with huge dark circles under her eyes.
Xiao Shuai, however, wasn't so kind. He dragged Luo Bin around for a while, almost wanting to share a bed with him. Not only did he not sleep, but Luo Bin also didn't get to sleep.
Actually, Xiao Shuai had already decided to quit and was thinking about whether he should run away the next day.
This is such a lousy building! He doesn't want to stay here even for a day longer. He'll discuss leaving with Xiaoyu tomorrow.
…………
When they woke up in the morning, everyone ate the breakfast that Xiao Jin had replaced. Cui Mingyang looked at Luo Bin, who kept yawning, and couldn't help but smile.
"What? He really didn't sleep all night!"
"Ah~" Luo Bin shook his neck, baring his teeth: "Yeah, I can't keep going like this."
"By the way, how long is this movie? Yesterday should count as a full day, right?" Luo Bin asked Xu Qing.
Xu Qing swallowed the shrimp dumpling in her mouth: "You could say that. According to the movie's pacing, we only got to the beginning yesterday."
If I'm not mistaken, today is the real show.
Hearing him say that, Luo Bin suddenly lost his appetite.
While the three NPCs were still fast asleep, the group ventilated the room and tidied up the trash.
Perhaps Xiao Jin left too deep an impression on the people next door, because even at this point, the NPCs were not in a hurry to make a move.
They have no intention of coming over to take a look.
